Write to Log
Description
Write to Log writes custom messages to the Process Studio logging system at a specified log level. Use this process entry to record diagnostic information, track process progress, or log variable values during execution — for example, recording the start and end times of key process phases, logging the values of configuration variables, or writing status messages that help with troubleshooting. Log messages support Process Studio variable substitution, which is resolved at runtime.
The Write to Log process entry records workflow execution details. To prevent sensitive data exposure, the entry includes a built-in security feature that automatically redacts this information before writing to the log. It replaces secret fields, parameters, variables, and sensitive credential attributes (.Password, .Encrypted1, and .Encrypted2) with ********. It replaces whole credential references (such as ${myCred}) with AE_CRED.
This protection is fully automatic and requires no manual configuration. The entry does not mask standard credential attributes (such as .Username, .Port, .Parameter1, or .Parameter2). It treats these as general configuration and writes them to the log as plain text.
