Hi,

You will find audit logs in programdata/Qliktech/qlikviewserver folder.

So, for examlple if your system drive is C drive then you will find it at

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer

go to this location and you will find a text file named as AUDIT_****

this is your Audit logs file.

This log file contains all the actions(every single query/selections also) audited. for example if you select any data in any field then that action will be logged there as this particular user selected this value in this field.

So, you can track/audit every single qlikview user

Hope it makes sense. Let me know, if you need further information

HiAshutosh

I am not able to find AUDIT_**** at the desired location.

Any other way? Did AUDIT log required any setting on the server?

Hi Anta,

Yes, you will need to enable the audit logging. To enable audit logging go to your Qlikview Enterprise Management Console (if you are using version 10 or earlier), and in Qlikview Management Console (If you are using Version 11) and in that console go to System tab, then setup, then inside Management service go to Qlikview servers, select the server name you see and go to logging tab and click Enable Audit logging.

Restart your Qlikview Server Service and then you will see the Audit text file in the said location earlier.

Let me know, if you need any clarification.

Hi Ashutosh

Is it necessary to restart the services after changes have been made?

Hi Anta,

No, basically you don't need to restart the services. Just enable it and wait for a minute, then you will see the audit file generated itself without restarting the service.

Also, you may need to do some action which triggers audit. Such as open a document thorough access point.

Hi Ashutosh

any estimate how much information there will be in these logs and how much disk space will be required for this e.g. monthly, yearly? will this have any affect on the performance?

Hi Anta,

Sorry for late reply.

Audit Log generates log for every action.

so that every query is registered and it is possible to see “who did what” retroactively.

So, according to your implementation you can get an idea of what would be the size of your text file. if you are having hundreds of users, multiple applications and users are using extensively, so size will increase faster.

So, you will need to keep an eye how your file is increasing its size.

Just look at your file, how its adding weight every minute, every hour, every day, every week. That will give you a very clear idea how your audit log is responding to your implementation scenario.

Hi Ashutosh ,

Please help me to solve the below query :-

1. During peak hours of RAM / CPU utilization , i would like to find out the reason for that peak hours.

Is it because of Qlikview development done at that time and who is doing that?

Is is that the users are accessing dashboard in that time window and who all are accessing ?

Any scheduled tasks or jobs are run ?

Can we find out through this application ?

If no then how can i do it ?

Which logs are required to fulfill this requirement?

Please help.
