How to link Ui Path orchestrator with Kibana

Question

We have UiPath installed on Azure app service, we need to link UiPath Orchestrator to Kibana in order to visualise logs. Can someone explain/detail the steps needed to get the logs into Kibana

Answer 1

So for this you need a bit of understanding of how Kibana works. Kibana is actually a visualisation tool for elasticsearch. So you're question should be more along the lines of how do I link UiPath Orchestrator to Elastic Search.

UiPath have some pretty comprehensive documentation at https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator

I believe you have to edit the web.config file for Orchestrator with something along the lines of this

<target name="serverElasticBuffer" xsi:type="BufferingWrapper" flushTimeout="5000">
    <target xsi:type="ElasticSearch" name="serverElastic" uri="http://localhost:9200" index="serverdiagnostics-${date:format=yyyy.MM}" documentType="logEvent" includeAllProperties="true" layout="${machinename} ${message}" />
</target>
