ANL-007: Missing Log Message

Workflow contains no log message activities.

lowobservabilityuipath

What it detects

Workflow contains no log message activities. Flowcerta currently surfaces this finding from the active validation pipeline for supported patterns.

Why it matters

Observability findings matter because teams cannot govern what they cannot see. Sparse or inconsistent logging slows investigations and weakens audit evidence.

Example violation

A workflow completes important work without writing any meaningful checkpoint logs.

Fix guidance

UiPath

  • Add log messages at key checkpoints for auditability.
  • Use platform-native assets, credentials, bounded retries, and Log Message checkpoints instead of hardcoded literals or silent failure paths.
  • Revalidate the workflow after the change and confirm the finding no longer appears.

Verification steps

  1. Run validation again and confirm the rule no longer appears in the finding list.
  2. Review the changed workflow artifact directly to verify the risky pattern is gone.
  3. Capture the new validation result as evidence for the relevant owner or compliance review.
