If anyone has audit logging switched on , does it has any impact on the performance of the Qlikview server ? As it is part of the Qlikview offerring I would hope not, but any feedback will be welcome as we don't want performance to be degraded.&nbsp; </P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Audit-Logging-any-Performance-Overhead-on-the-server/m-p/383834#M1274488 2026-01-26T18:19:17Z Re: Audit Logging : any Performance Overhead on the server https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Audit-Logging-any-Performance-Overhead-on-the-server/m-p/383835#M1274489 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>As long as any logging action means access to write (and read) on disk, the more you log the slower your system will go.
