In a Multi-node environment, how do you reload the License and Operation Monitors on any node?

Currently setting up a Multi-node environment with QS 3.0 Enterprise Server and was hoping to find documentation on how to reload the monitor apps on to all Rim nodes. Hoping this would provide historical data for the entire site and provide insight into load balancing performance as well.

Thanks in advance,

Tony

I created a windows file share pointing at the folder on the central node where all log files are stored. Make sure to set proper Windows permissions on it.

Then create a new Sense data connection, pointing to those log files. Once again, make sure to set suitably restrictive (Sense) permissions on it.

Finally, create a copy of the operations monitor app, and modify the paths in it to point to the new data connection.

Reload from a rim node now works a treat - although a lot slower than if reloaded from the central node, as all log files have to be read over the network instead of from local disk.

This approach do require some developer skills, but to the best of my knowledge there isn't a a Sense 3 operations monitor that just runs on rim nodes out of the box. Some modification to the app is needed.

I think I have also seen a Qlik whitepaper discussing this topic... Might have been in their support knowledgebase.

Found the doc:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/3.0/pdf/Monitor%20Qlik%20Sense%20sites.pdf

In section 2.3 you will find instructions on how to set up multi-node monitoring.
