How to see usage Logs / user logs in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS?

[eberhardteduard]

Hi,

I'd like to see which users are in fact using their licenses on my Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS deployment.

Since license monitor hasn't been launched yet, is there any other way to acess logs and get this kind of information?

Hey Eduardo, you can see the events if you go to the Console and then "Events". Or "https://TenantName.Region.qlikcloud.com/console/events/

If you need a report, you can use the audit api, using a HTTP method to GET the events. You can find more details here:

Thanks @GuilhermeLeite , the 'events' tab has all the info I need for now.

For others, a good tip on the 'events' tab is filtering only the type of event you want to analyze, reducing significantly the amount of information shown.

Indeed! It helps when you add some filters.

And also, it's important to remember that events in SaaS are kept for 90 days. 

So if you want to keep a history, a good ideia would be saving the "logs".

Just to let you know, there is an app maintained by Qlik:

Hi @eberhardteduard 

As @GuilhermeLeite mentioned, you can use the APIs to get this information.

I have scripts for pulling data from the events and usage APIs in the example scripts of my Instant Sense Application. It's free to download and you can use the script in the app, or simply build your own app over the load script (provided in a plain text file).

You can find more information on the app, a download link and live examples, here:

If loaded into the app, the different licence types are colour coded so you can see if a user should have their analyser licence removed and given to someone else:

Hope that is useful to people,

Steve

Great post on your website, Steve!

Congrats! I'll definitely use these examples.
