Merging Monitoring Logs - New Server

[prees959]

Hi,

We have recently created a new QlikSense Environment on a new server.  This new installation has naturally created a new starting point for our Monitoring Logs.  Is there a way we can import our previous monitoring logs from our old server across and 'append these' to the new logs.

Many thanks

Phil

Hi @prees959 

The best bet will be to create a QVD of the logs from the old server and then append these to the end of the logs from the new server using CONCATENATE.

These posts on QVDs and Incremental Load may be helpful.

Good luck!

You can just grab the folder from your service cluster's archived logs folder (example: \\server\share\archivedlogs\myserver.company.com\) and place it into the new archived logs folder for the new cluster:

\\server\share\archivedlogs\myOldserver.company.com
\\server\share\archivedlogs\myNewserver.company.com

It isn't doing validation of what nodes are a part of the current site or cluster, it just is blindly looping over the folders.

Do keep in mind that this merge will matter for a little while for a few of the bundled apps, but over time this likely won't matter:

App	Default time
Operations Monitor	3 months
License Monitor	12 months
Log Monitor	7 days
Sessions Monitor	12 months
Reloads Monitor	12 months
