Creating the storage for IBM RPA on premises

Procedure

During the installation or update of the IBM RPA on premises server you need to provide the connection string to the AUDIT database and define the folder where log files are stored. By default, the installer suggests the C:/LOG/AuditLogs directory.

For procedures on how create the AUDIT database, see Set up the databases.

What to do next

By default, the option to store logs on a database is enabled. If you disable this option, the table on the IBM RPA Control Center no longer updates with new data. For instructions on how to enable or to disable logging in the database, see Logging in the database.

After you capture and store audit logs data, you can retrieve them by accessing the Audit log window on the IBM RPA Control Center. For procedures on how to access the log data, see Viewing audit logs.

You can also connect the logs folder with a security information and event management (SIEM) system over Fluentd for monitoring and analysing log events. For more information, see Forwarding audit logs records on IBM RPA on premises.
