Manage Actions and Events

Overview

Under the Monitoring tab in the RPA console, you can manage actions and events.

Actions are operational steps the console can take when certain criteria are met, using Events as the trigger. For example, you can configure the console to send an email to a person or group of people when a robotic task begins or ends.

Create a new action

To create a new action:

1. Go to the Actions page within the Monitoring tab.
2. Go to the Actions editor.
3. Choose from the following settings to configure the action as desired:
   • Action type: Choose the event to occur for this action:
     • CONTAINER_NODE_START: Start a robot container
     • CONTAINER_SELECTED_NODE_START: Start the selected robot container
     • CONTAINER_SELECTED_NODE_STOP: Stop the selected robot container
     • EMAIL: Send an email
     • EXECUTION_ROBOT_FAILURE:
     • NODE_RELAUNCH: Relaunch a robot
     • REMOVE_LOG_FILES: Remove log files older than a chosen number of days
     • ROBOT_LAUNCH: Execute a robotic task
     • TOGGLE_EXECUTION_ROBOT_FEATURE: Enable or disable the execution of all robotic tasks in the console
   • Action detail: Narrow the criteria for the action. The options in this list vary based on the Action type selected. For example, if you select CONTAINER_SELECTED_NODE_START for the Action type, specific robots are listed here. In this example, you can choose the robot to act upon. For some actions, you can select multiple options in the Action detail menu.
   • To event: The event that acts as a trigger for this action. Options are described in the table below.
   • Depending on: The condition that initiates the action. The options in this list vary based on the To event selected. For example, if you select NODE_OFFLINE for the To event, specific robots are listed here. In this example, you can choose the robot to initiate the action if it goes offline.

Events

Events are used to launch actions, but they are also logged in the console so administrators have a comprehensive view of what actions occur and when.

The following table described each event that can be triggered within the console:

Event	Description
API_FILE_INVOKED	The FILE API is called. This method isn't recommended because it was developed specifically for legacy systems not supporting REST API. It is strongly recommended to use the REST API whenever is possible.
API_INVOKED	The main methods of the console's REST API are invoked.
BACKUP_END	The backup process of the console ends.
BACKUP_START	The backup process of the console starts.
COMMAND_ON_SESSION	A remote control command is received, either activating the microphone in the browser (only for Chrome) or using the mobile application.
CONSOLE_LIVE	The console is started.
CONSOLE_LOW_FREE_HARD_DISK_SPACE	The free disk space is under the threshold defined for the console in Settings > Configuration.
EXECUTION_NEEDLESS	An execution is self-removed after it ends.
EXECUTION_ROBOT_FEATURE_DISABLED	The execution of robotic tasks is disabled on the console.
EXECUTION_ROBOT_FEATURE_ENABLED	The execution of robotic tasks is enabled on the console.
FORGOT_CREDENTIALS	A user asks for an email to reset credentials.
LOGIN_FORM	A user logs into the console.
LOGIN_FAILURE	A login attempt to the console is unsuccessful.
LOGOUT	A user logs out of the console.
NODE_CONTAINER_START	A container is started.
NODE_CONTAINER_STOP	A container is stopped.
NODE_DISABLED	A robot is disabled.
NODE_ENABLED	A robot is enabled. It occurs when it connects to the console and shows as Enabled.
NODE_LIMIT_MEMORY	A robot has reached its maximum specified memory.
NODE_LOCKED	A robot is locked (a user needs to log in).
NODE_LOW_FREE_HARD_DISK_SPACE	The free disk space for the robot is under the threshold defined in Robot detail page.
NODE_OFFLINE	The console detects that a robot has gone offline.
NODE_ONLINE	A specific agent instance is successfully registered. The agent is started on a robot and connects to the console.
NODE_UNLOCKED	A robot has been unlocked.
REPORT_FINISHED	A report was generated and is available for download.
ROBOT_ABORTED	A robotic task execution is aborted.
ROBOT_END	A robotic task ends its execution.
ROBOT_EVENT	This event is specifically triggered by the robots through the platform API. It allows you to monitor specific situations notified by the robots to the platform.
ROBOT_EXECUTION_DISABLED	An attempt was made to run a robotic task whose execution is disabled on setup, or that is out of its execution schedule.
ROBOT_SCHEDULE	A robotic task is queued for execution.
ROBOT_SCHEDULE_WITHOUT_NODE	An execution has been queued for more than a specific amount of time without being executed.
ROBOT_START	A robotic task starts its execution.
SCHEDULE	This event is generated at a specific configured time, being able to associate any action.
