   \          ... Service: ${key} is not running

Answer 1

You are forgetting to use the continuation characters. All of the "else" and "elseif" words, and the other keywords and arguments, must all be arguments to the "run keyword if" keyword.

:FOR ${key} IN @{keys}
\    ${item}= Get From Dictionary ${services} ${key}
\    Run Keyword If    '${item}' == '1' 
\    ...    Log    Service: ${key} is Running
\    ...    Else If    '${item}' == '2' Log
\    ...    Log    Service: ${key} is not running
