Viewing logs in Kibana

Why is JSON format useful for viewing logs in Kibana?

Kibana provides a front-end design to work with Elasticsearch. Functionality to push logs (for example AssistEdge_SE.log) to Elasticsearch for Robots and RPA Listener is added. RPA Admin module enables you to view the logs in Kibana.

Following are the three levels of logs you can push to Elasticsearch:

  • Error : It push only error logs. For example, all records of AssistEdge_SE.log file with “level”:“Error” will be pushed into Index automation-log-error-{DATE}.
  • Warning : It will push warning and error logs. Indexes automation-log-warn-{DATE} and automation-log-error-{DATE} is created and respective logs are pushed into these indices.
  • Info : It will push information, warning and error logs. Indexes automation-log-info-{DATE}, automation-log-warn-{DATE} and automation-log-error-{DATE} are created and respective logs are pushed into these indices.
