Steps to Resolve "Unknown" Bot Status

  1. Check Device Availability:

    • Go to Devices in the Control Room.
    • Ensure the device is connected and active.
    • If it's part of a device pool, make sure it's not overloaded or misconfigured.
  2. Stop the Bot from Control Room:

    • Navigate to Activity > In Progress.
    • Locate the bot with "Unknown" status.
    • Click Stop or Move to History (if Stop is disabled) to clear the stuck instance 
      .
  3. Restart Bot Agent Service:

    • On the machine where the bot is running, restart the Automation Anywhere Bot Agent service.
    • This often re-establishes the connection and updates the bot status.
  4. Clear Device Lock:

    • If the device is locked due to a stuck bot, you may need to:
      • Unregister and re-register the device.
      • Or use the API to reset the device (available in Enterprise edition).
  5. Check Logs:

    • Review logs in:
      • Node-manager
      • WebCR_Devices
      • Control Room Audit Logs
    • These can help identify if the issue is due to a script error, device timeout, or network issue.
  6. Create a New Bot (Workaround):

    • If the bot remains stuck and cannot be stopped, create a new bot, copy the logic, and run it separately
