Session calls vs Sessions?

Hi,

in Governance Dashboard, tab Operations and then Session, what's the different between "Sessions" and "Session calls"?

Thank you

Since I can never remember, I looked up in the QlikView Server Documentation, chapter 7.2 where it describes Session "Calls" as "Number of QlikView calls during the session (bidirectional)".

I honestly don't know exactly what that entails, but the intent of that metric is to provide more of an idea of the load on a server.

A session is when the user opens the app, but during that session, there are lots of 'calls' going back and forth.

Here's what I found from Qlik Support last year:

Shorter version:

it’s a counter which counts number of requests that Server received during last performance collect interval.

Longer version:

- Interval:
- Frequency for Server to collect the performance stats. By default, it’s 5 mins, and that’s the interval of “Timestamp” field in Performance.log;
- Requests:
- All requests are sent through port 4747 to Server
- They mainly come from WebServer and QMC, sometimes from Plug-in or Desktop
- Counter:
- It’s reset to 0 every time when we write stats down to Performance.log;
- It does NOT count
  - those Authentication/Logon related ones.
- It does count:
  - Normal requests from user web browser; (You can see them in browser’s developer console or Fiddler alike tools.)
  - Control requests from QMC or WebServer; (Settings from QMC, load balance check, heart beat check etc..)
  - Others directly from plug-in, desktop etc.

if i'm not wrong ,

here session means,in which interval the qv documents are accessed.

session cals-- it's type of cal to provide access on document for a certain time.
