personalized / customized : Monitoring apps

Hi I need to create apps that monitor access to Qlik.
Practically the default monitoring app is good, but I need to create a different one with the same data.

the first question is:
1) How do I recover or use the same Monitoring Apps data?

2) the second question is:
can I copy the monitoring apps and make changes in the data upload so that they do not conflict with saving QVDs?

  1. You can create a sheet into that app and create your customized dashboard OR
  2. You can duplicate the app ( in this case, you should after modifying the app change the owner to sa_repository) so it can be reloaded

ideas are generally good. But how to implement them?

Assuming that you follow the second option, which initialization variable should I modify for example in the "Lincense Monitor" app?


thank to your respond


follow code standard section : "Initialize" from "License Monitor"

REM To manually override where this app loads log data, please update the variable db_v_file_override as follows:

0 = auto = script will check for recent data in logging database

1 = file logs only (no database logs loaded)

2 = database logs only (no file data loaded except where file log data already stored in governanceLogContent QVDs;;

SET db_v_file_override    =    0;

REM END set manual override for log data source (Only update the script beyond here at your own risk!);

Another option is to BINARY load the existing monitoring app and reuse it's data.

How do you binary load on Sense server?
I thought binary load in Sense was only possible when you have a QVF?

I'm told it's possible but haven't tried it myself

I looked in the help-file for it the other day and there is stated it only works from qvf-files not applikations deployed on the Sense server.

I followed the instructions here

Binary load from qvf file in Qlik Sense

It works, but as you pointed out, this is not a supported technique so I withdraw my suggestion to use this as a solution for this poster's requirement.

All Apps are stored in your shared folder like this:

QlikShare\Apps\APPID.qvf

so you can create a data connection to that folder and perform a binary load. I have tried it a long time ago, but it should still work. Not sure if it has any effects on your environment.

Had a thought about trying that as I guessed those files are actually QVF-files even though they don't have the extension.
Do it at your own risk would be the conclusion.
