UiPath Orchestrator Flashcards

What is a 'Trigger' in UiPath Orchestrator?

Answer: A rule that automatically starts a job based on a time schedule or queue event

Triggers automate job execution either on a Cron schedule (Time Trigger) or when a queue reaches a threshold (Queue Trigger).

Which Orchestrator feature stores and versions all robot execution logs for auditing?

Answer: Logs

The Logs section in Orchestrator aggregates all robot runtime log messages with timestamps and severity levels for monitoring and auditing.

What is a 'Machine Template' in UiPath Orchestrator?

Answer: A reusable machine configuration that can be associated with multiple host machines

Machine Templates define a named configuration (including runtime slots) that can be linked to one or more physical or virtual host machines.

In UiPath Orchestrator, what does setting a Queue Item's status to 'Failed' with 'Application Exception' mean?

Answer: The item should be retried automatically based on queue retry settings

Application Exceptions indicate transient failures (e.g., system unavailable) that may succeed on retry, triggering Orchestrator's auto-retry logic.

What is the purpose of 'Webhooks' in UiPath Orchestrator?

Answer: To send HTTP POST notifications to external systems when Orchestrator events occur

Webhooks allow Orchestrator to push real-time event notifications (job started, queue item failed, etc.) to external systems via HTTP POST.

Which Orchestrator permission role typically allows a user to start and stop jobs but not manage robots or packages?

Answer: Operator

The Operator role in Orchestrator grants job execution control (start/stop/monitor) without access to infrastructure management like robots or packages.
