API to capture the logging mode in Qilk replicate

Greetings!

I would like to know if we have any API to capture the logging mode for the tasks. Ex to find if the tasks are set to verbose logging mode

Hello @sukanya09 ,

Thanks for your question. I don't see any API that helps with determining if verbose logging is on or not.

I see this in the Replicate User Guide>> https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/May2023/Content/Replicate/Main/Appendix%20-%20Add-On%20SDK/logging_methods.htm

Also In Enterprise Manager, you can see the amount of disk space being used:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/enterprise-manager/May2023/Content/EnterpriseManager/EnterpriseManager_APIGuide/CurlAPI/api_getTaskDetails.htm

disk_usage_mb

The current utilization of disk space, in MB. A task's disk utilization is sampled every minute.

As I don't see the exact need, feel free to open an enhancement request and Submit an idea into Ideation :

Hope this helps.

Sincerely

You could consider ExportTask your API. Parse the result for:

cmd.replication_definition->tasks->[yourtaskname]->loggers

You'll need to read the list of returned loggers element, scanning for 'DETAILED DEBUG' or other values as desired. See sample summary below.

"cmd.replication_definition": { "tasks": [{ "task": { "name": "xxx",... }, "source": { ... }, "targets": { ... }, "manipulations": [{ ... }], "task_settings": { ... }, "loggers": { "$type": "RepTaskLoggers", "TARGET_APPLY": "DETAILED_DEBUG", "SOURCE_CAPTURE": "INFO" .... } }], "databases": [{ ...

Thanks. I can find it in the JSON

"loggers": {

"$type": "RepTaskLoggers",

"loggers_configuration": {

"SORTER": "DETAILED_DEBUG"

However it is appearing only when the logging mode is getting changed .

Do you know if we have any similar way to find out the tasks with Full load set to ON ?

Sukanya

In general Replicate only puts non-default items in the JSON export. A) it makes for shorter JSON tiles B) If a 'better' default is developed over time, it will be picked up C) it might make conversions easier.

As a script writer it is fairly annoying though and you more or less need to know what to expect and what the absence of something means.

>>> Do you know if we have any similar way to find out the tasks with Full load set to ON ?

Case in point... fullload enabled TRUE is the default and NOT present in general (allthough tolerated) . The absence of the element "common_settings": { ... }, "full_load_enabled": false, ... means fullload is ON.

For the logging in the @sukanya09 case it seems ANY element present under loggers is 'suspect' and needs to be reported for potential excessive logging as a starting point. Next scripting step may be to add exceptions for logger element/taskname combinations which are approved.

Alternatively, use a dummy task with ALL logging enabled, export, and establish a list of possible tag/values to expect.
