localhost to test GMS

[cluscombe]

Hi All-

We have been working through the GMS documentation found here and seem to be stuck on this step:

1. A test page to confirm the GMS is active. It is accessible via the browser at https://localhost:8590/masterlib/testpage where localhost is the hostname for your Qlik Sense server.

If the URL I use to access QlikSense is https://dtw-qlik.hq.curtis.com/hub/my/work ‌then what is the link I should be using to access the test page?  I would think it be:

https://‌dtw-qlik:8590/masterlib/testpage‌

or maybe

https://‌dtw-qlik‌.hq:8590/masterlib/testpage

or perhaps

https://‌dtw-qlik.hq.curtis.com:8590/masterlib/testpage‌

But none of these combinations seems to work.  Thanks!

Chris

We definitely have this installed on the e:/ drive and not c:/

C: is where windows is installed and everything Qlik related is on E:.

Following up (perhaps you are at Qonnections this week)

Hi Chris,

I am facing the same problem, I wouldn't able to find the log file in a mentioned folder. EA Power tool dispatcher service is running.

To be more clear, I followed each step while installing GMS and QMC Utilities. The only step I skipped is setting certification path for the hostname. I skipped it because I'm using remote session(different domine).

Chris, Have you solved this issue? If yes, kindly provide the answer to this thread, which will be useful for us.

Regards,

Mohan.

All,

I experienced the same problems, probably caused by the different then default location on Qlik installation.

As Jeff suggested earlier there is a log file mine looked like this.

//

I resloved the issue by simply adjust the location of the required paths manual in the services.conf file (notepad++) as follows (for my situation)

//

[governedmetricsservice]

Identity=governedmetricsservice

Enabled=true

DisplayName=governedmetricsservice

ExecType=nodejs

ExePath=E:\QLIKPROG\Qlik\Sense\ServiceDispatcher\node.exe

Script=E:\QLIKPROG\Qlik\Sense\EAPowerTools\GovernedMetricsService\server.js

//

Now things are running as desired
