Verifying that the bot you created functions correctly is crucial after its development. This step ensures the bot is active and sending alert messages.
This article shows the areas to check when verifying new bots
Look into the recent run history
- Navigate to Bots on the MSPbots menu and select the bot you wish to verify.
- Go to the Detail tab and check the statuses under the Recent run history section. Runs for bots that send alerts display the Success status, while inactive or bots that encountered issues display a Failed status.
Inspect the Run History tab
You can also go to the Run History tab to view detailed bot logs to show the bot's execution behavior and suggest insights for troubleshooting issues effectively.
You can filter the runs according to their status by navigating to the Status dropdown and selecting Success, Error, or Running.
Clicking Run Details displays the bot flow diagram, which shows:
- The workflow of the bot (e.g., Data Filter, REST API Call, Alerts)
- The status of each bot block (Success, Error, Not Executed)
When you select a specific bot block, the following is displayed:
- Data In: Input data for the bot block
- Data Out: Output data generated
- Logs: Detailed logs of messages, errors, or events
The Run Details information is available for only the 10 most recent runs.
Check out the generated bot messages
Check the Bot Messages section to see the number of messages the bot generates regularly.
