What is Enable Utilization logging ?

fredericvillemi — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello,

in System / Qlikview Web Server / General, i have seen a new (at least i think it is new) option : Enable Utilization logging.

I can't find it in the documentation. What is the logs it adds compared to High logging level ?

Thanks

I don't know utilization logging not in this place or elsewhere - meant you maybe audit logging. If yes it logs some user-activities like activating sheets and objects, which selctions was made and so on. The difference between normal and extensive audit logging is in the amount of activities which are logged. Extensive meant nearly everything and will need some extra performance.

No sorry, it is Utilization logging in the Web Server section.

There is high logging already but now there is also a check box for Utilization logging.. don't know what it is. I have made a ticket to know, let's hope the support will be able to help me and give the documentation up to date

I'm asking questions about 11.2SR9 and i think people have still not seen some of them, and it's not even in the documentation

I never used it

This is what I find on the book (I recommend it) "Qlikview Server and Publisher", Stephen Redmond

"...

You can also turn on utilization logging for the web service, which records the

documents accessed by the web service and the memory configuration. This is most

useful if you have multiple web servers.

...."

"...

We also have the option to Enable Utilization logging, which

will record some additional statistics about the server when opening documents.

..."

Sorry, I haven't read carefully enough This log logged activities on the access point - when and from whom would accessed which application, which js-files / css-files are loaded and many more. Actually I couldn't think of a real use-case unless there are network-problems with timeouts or similar.

It seems there are two explanations here. Now you're faced with another question... Sorry.

I have it switched on permanently at one customer. It doesn't contain anything about web pages or css. It has performance measurements (Nr of Cores, CPU percentage, Memory configred, memory overload etc.) for every machine in a cluster. Interesting...

Seems that the Help text is correct, AFAICS
