Apologies if i've misread your post, but to use Guitar Rig in Logic you need to create an audio track and assign the Guitar Rig plug in to it:
Easily done:
1. Once you've created your track, make sure the inspector is enabled (top left of screen) this gives you information on the track that you have selected:
2. Now select the Audio FX for the selected track which looks like this:
3. Find Native Instruments and select Guitar Rig, and you're good to go.
Automation
For automation, Logic has 4 different modes, which you must enable on a track-by-track basis, by default this is set to 'Read':
Basically, set it to Write and your pedal/automation movements shall be recorded (Note: You don't have to record-enable the track when in this mode, so don't get caught out writing automation by mistake). Once finished ensure that automation is set to 'read'. That way, Any automation you've saved cannot accidently be adjusted.
Look up the other modes within the Logic manual as they can be very handy if you want to fine tune your automation.
You can also select a region that you've played and clear all the automation within it, sometimes this is necessary when first learning how automation in Logic works as it can be a little confusing to start with and so it's handy knowing that the option exists.
