Debug Log

Description

Debug Log writes process and workflow variables and fields to log files for troubleshooting and monitoring. When a process runs from AutomationEdge, it logs to the agent.log file; when run from Process Studio, it logs to the process-studio.log file. Use this process entry to capture runtime data at configurable severity levels, making it easier to diagnose issues in complex processes and verify that variables hold expected values at key decision points.

Configurations
