Monitoring and Reporting in UiPath Orchestrator
UiPath Orchestrator provides comprehensive monitoring and reporting capabilities to track robot performance, task executions, and system health. These insights help you optimize automation processes, identify potential issues, and ensure the overall success of your RPA deployments.
Understanding Orchestrator Monitoring:
- Real-Time Insights: Orchestrator offers real-time dashboards that display key performance indicators (KPIs) and critical information about your robots and processes.
- Robot Status: Monitor the status of individual robots, including:
- Availability: Whether the robot is online, offline, or in maintenance mode.
- Execution Status: The current state of processes being executed by the robot.
- Resource Utilization: CPU, memory, and disk usage.
- Process Monitoring: Track the performance of automation processes, including:
- Execution Logs: Detailed logs of each process execution, including start and end times, exceptions, and key events.
- Performance Metrics: Time taken to complete tasks, error rates, and process durations.
- System Health: Monitor the overall health of the Orchestrator platform, including server uptime, database connections, and resource availability.
Generating Reports:
- Customizable Dashboards: Orchestrator provides customizable dashboards to display the information that is most relevant to your needs. You can configure widgets and panels to display KPIs, charts, and real-time data feeds.
- Pre-built Reports: Access pre-built reports that provide insights into:
- Robot Activity: Reports on robot usage, execution times, and error rates.
- Process Performance: Reports on process execution times, success rates, and exceptions.
- User Activity: Reports on user logins, actions performed, and access permissions.
- Custom Reports: Create custom reports using the reporting tool to generate detailed reports specific to your requirements.
Using Monitoring and Reporting:
1. **Access the Monitoring Dashboard:** Log into Orchestrator and navigate to the Monitoring dashboard.
2. **Explore Dashboards:** Explore pre-built dashboards or create custom dashboards to view specific KPIs and relevant data.
3. **Analyze Process Logs:** Examine execution logs for individual processes to identify specific errors, exceptions, or unusual behavior.
4. **Generate Reports:** Create custom reports or access pre-built reports to analyze robot performance, process efficiency, and user activity.
5. **Identify Bottlenecks and Issues:** Use monitoring data to identify potential bottlenecks in your automation processes and take steps to optimize performance.
6. **Improve Process Efficiency:** Use performance metrics and insights to improve process efficiency, reduce error rates, and enhance automation effectiveness.
Best Practices for Monitoring and Reporting:
- Define Key KPIs: Identify and track KPIs that are most important to your automation goals, such as execution time, error rate, and throughput.
- Implement Alerts: Configure alerts to notify you of critical events, such as robot failures, process errors, or performance degradation.
- Regular Review: Regularly review monitoring data and reports to identify trends, potential issues, and opportunities for improvement.
- Data Visualization: Use charts, graphs, and other visualization techniques to present monitoring data effectively to stakeholders.
- Integrate with Business Intelligence Tools: Consider integrating Orchestrator monitoring data with business intelligence tools to gain deeper insights and analysis capabilities.
