Which method is recommended for logging events in UiPath?

The recommended method for logging events in UiPath is Log Message. This method is specifically designed to record messages in the log files, making it easier to track the execution of your automation. Unlike Write Line, which outputs messages to the console, Log Message allows for more structured and categorized logging that can be filtered, viewed in logs, and analyzed later.

Using Log Message, you can categorize logs by severity levels (like Info, Warn, Error), making it easier for developers and support teams to filter and find relevant information in large log files. This structured approach to logging aids in debugging and provides a clearer picture of what the automation was doing at any point, which is invaluable for both development and maintenance.

Write Log and Write Line might seem similar, but they do not offer the same level of integration with the logging framework that Log Message does, which is optimized for logging purposes. Message Box, while useful for displaying information to users, isn't intended for logging and does not provide any capability for tracking historical data or events within the automation process.
