Machines

General View

Displays information about all the existing runtimes on an aggregate basis, and allows you to check the overall health of each runtime. You can group the runtimes per host machine, in case you wish to have an overview of how your workstations are performing.

The Include Subfolders checkbox enables you to select if the contents of all subfolders are included.

The Group by Machine toggle enables you to group the runtimes per each connected host machine.

Machines (Grouping Enabled)

Group by Machine enabled

All the runtimes on one machine template are grouped together in one entry for each workstation that is connected to Orchestrator. The different blocks represent each such host machine. Hovering over each block displays an overview of that workstation:



Field

Description

1

The name and status of the host machine. See below a breakdown of the host machine statuses.

2

The name of the machine template used to connect the workstation to Orchestrator

3

The status of the machine. They are detailed in the table below.

4, 5, 6

The type of each runtime, their licensing status, the total number of runtimes for each type, and the available runtimes of the total.

Host Machine Status

Color

Meaning

Red

Unresponsive

The workstation is unresponsive.

Orange

Unlicensed

For that workstation, there are no available licenses on the tenant for any of the runtimes that have been assigned to the associated template.

Example

Tenant Level: 4 Unattended Runtimes Purchased

Machine Template: 2 Unattended Runtimes Assigned

I connect three workstations to Orchestrator using that machine template.

Required Licenses: 3 x 2 = 6

Due to only having 4 licenses at tenant level, two workstations are fully licensed, one is unlicensed.

Yellow

Partially Licensed

For that workstation, only a portion of the runtimes associated to the template are available on the tenant.

Example

Tenant Level: 3 Unattended Runtimes Purchased

Machine Template: 2 Unattended Runtimes Assigned

I connect two workstations to Orchestrator using that machine template.

Required Licenses: 2 x 2 = 4

Due to only having 3 licenses at tenant level, one workstation is fully licensed, one is partially licensed.

Green

Available

None of the available runtimes are consumed to execute a job.

Cyan

Partial Usage

Only a portion of the total available runtimes is consumed.

Example

Say I have two unattended runtimes on a machine template, used to connect one host machine to Orchestrator.

If I am executing one unattended job, it consumes one unattended runtime. As such, the workstation is displayed as having partial usage.

Blue

Full Usage

All runtimes are consumed.

Example

Say I have two unattended runtimes on a machine template, used to connect one host machine to Orchestrator.

If I am executing two unattended jobs, it consumes two unattended runtimes. As such, it is displayed as having full usage.

Runtimes (Grouping Disabled)

Group by Machine disabled

The runtimes are displayed separately. The various statuses represent the health of each runtime. Each runtime is represented with a colored block. Hovering over each block displays an overview of that runtime:



1

The name of the workstation.

2

The name of the machine template used to connect the workstation to Orchestrator - displayed in parenthesis.

3

The type of runtime.

4

The status of the runtime. They are detailed in the table below.

Runtime Status

Color

Meaning

Red

Unresponsive

The host machine associated to that runtime is unresponsive. If there are multiple runtimes associated to a workstation that is unresponsive, all are displayed as unresponsive.

Example

If I have 3 NonProduction runtimes on a machine template that is used to connect one workstation to Orchestrator, and that workstation becomes unresponsive, then all three runtimes are displayed as unresponsive.

Orange

Unlicensed

There are no available licenses at tenant level for that runtime.

Green

Available

The runtime is available for execution.

Blue

In use

The runtime is consumed during job execution.

Machines

Allows you to see the runtime allocation per host machine and machine template such that you can assess whether a machine needs more runtimes or not. Similarly, you can see if you have allocated too many runtimes to a machine.

Data in the table gets updated accordingly as you allocate more runtimes or start a job on a machine.

Field

Description

Connected Machine

The name of the host machine.

Machine

The name of the template whose key is used to connect the Robot on the corresponding host machine to Orchestrator.

Type

The type of runtimes associated to that machine template. If there are multiple types on the same machine template, an entry is generated for each.

Status

The status of each runtime, illustrated with a colored icon and its description. They are described in the section above.

Runtimes

The number of runtimes of each type.

In Use

The number of runtimes currently being consumed. A runtime is only consumed during job execution.

Last Heartbeat

The amount of time since the last heartbeat. Hover over this field to see the exact time of the last heartbeat.

Search

Enables you to search according to the host machine name, and template name.

Columns

Enables you to toggle column visibility. By default, all columns are displayed. Clear or select the check boxes corresponding to the columns you want to stay hidden or visible, respectively.

Click Reset in the Visible Columns drop-down to return to the default configuration with all columns enabled and visible.

Runtimes Status

It illustrates the ratio between unresponsive, unlicensed, available and in use runtimes in a pie chart.

Color

Meaning

Red

Unresponsive

The host machine associated to that runtime is unresponsive. If there are multiple runtimes associated to a workstation that is unresponsive, all are displayed as unresponsive.

Example

If I have 3 NonProduction runtimes on a machine template that is used to connect one workstation to Orchestrator, and that workstation becomes unresponsive, then all three runtimes are displayed as unresponsive.

Orange

Unlicensed

There are no available licenses at tenant level for that runtime.

Green

Available

The runtime is available for execution.

Blue

In use

The runtime is consumed during job execution.

Individual View

Displays information concerning one Robot, as selected by the user from the general view, specifically on the Robots Overview widget. Each widget in this view contains the exact same information as on the Robots page. Changing the properties there automatically causes the information here to update accordingly.

Filters

Interval - allows you to control the granularity of the data, and display either the last hour or last day (last 24 hours) of the selected Robot's activity.

Header Details

The name of the Robot is displayed at the top left of the page.



Right below the Robot's name and Interval filter, you can find the following information concerning the selected Robot:

  • Type - the Robot type;
  • Username - the username used to connect the Robot to Orchestrator;
  • Machine - the name of the machine on which UiPath® Robot is installed;
  • Running Process - the name of the process that is being executed.

Current Job: [Job Name]

Displays the name of the executed process, if any, and details pertaining to the associated job. Specifically, the time at which the job execution began and its approximate time of completion. If there is no ongoing job, the widget is not populated. The estimated time of completion is calculated based on previous executions of that job, if any. If the job is at its first execution, a dash is displayed instead. When the execution has ended, the widget returns to the original, unpopulated state.



Filtering by Interval does not impact this widget.

Error Feed

Allows you to see a list of the errors encountered on the selected Robot. The errors are displayed in reverse chronological order as they occur, meaning a new error is always displayed at the top of the feed. The number of errors displayed in parentheses after the widget name is expressed according to your position within the feed and to the total number of errors. Let's say there are 453 errors in your feed. The following behavior is encountered:

Position Within the Feed

Displayed Value

Between 0 and 99

99+

Between 100 and 199

199+

Between 200 and 299

299+

Between 300 and 399

399+

Further than 400

The total number of errors in the feed, in this particular example 453.

After reaching the end of the feed, the total number of errors is displayed regardless of your position.

You can dismiss an error after having acknowledged it, however, please take into account that multiple users might check the feed simultaneously, so we recommend carefully using the Dismiss button. A dismissed error is still taken into account in the error counter. After an error was dismissed, the name of the user who performed the action is displayed adjacently in a tooltip. Note that you need Edit permissions on Monitoring to dismiss errors.

Field
