How to get session app logs

Huiying — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:45:26 GMT

Hei,
We are in a Qlik SaaS POC project to evaluate whether Qlik SaaS is our next home.
In our existing solution, we use .NET SDK to generate session app, and reads the session app logs from the central node of our on-prem cluster.
In SaaS, it seems the DoReload method brings the link of the session app log: "/home/engine/Qlik/Sense/Log/Script/SessionApp_6a324461-0128-4688-93a9-324f861283e9.20240412T122845.330+0000.4BCFA75D1F223A2FC241.log"
But there is no way to read the log content.

Can you advise a way to fetch the log file, or to change the log location so that we can read the log content?

Thank you!

There is no session monitoring app in SaaS, or a way to get this log on Cloud, that I'm aware of. You can get some user session and app events from the audits API, such as when a user session begins, by using a HTTP method to GET the events:

Also, the Entitlement Analyzer monitoring app will give you an overview of usage that may help:
