Task monitoring. Task trigger actions metadata.

Hello everyone.

In our company we have had Qlik Sense Enterprise for a few years and the growth of the apps has been notorious in such a way that we are saturated with loading tasks. For this reason we are cleaning and ordering Apps and tasks supporting us with metadata mainly with the Operations Monitors app.
Our problem is that since there are so many task chains, when a task falls, it impacts several apps used by business users and we don't always manage to notice it in time.
We don't have a way to monitor if the task chains finish in their corresponding average time. For the same reason, we want to know if there is an app that helps us with that or if we can somehow obtain the metadata of the trigger actions to obtain the start of the trigger schedule of a task.

Please, any help can help us.

Hello,

I also faced with something like that and made myself an app from slighty changing what I found on forums. If you want to give it a try. Last 3 pages are my edits on the app. You need to change the configuration on the load script to your operations monitor app's id, create a directory for qvds and change the url for you url. And also comment a line in operations monitor app for it to work.

here is the line you need to comment:

Thanks for the quick attention.

I'm trying to reload the app you shared with me. But it doesn't load because it doesn't recognize a route "LIB://QVD_Folder (active_qlikadm)".

Where should this connection point?

Greetings.

It is the root folder of your QVD's. Like: "Lib:/QVD_FOLDER/Logistics/082023.qvd"

You just need to setup a connection to root folder which is QVD_FOLDER here.

Edit: you need to also fix the sorting, if you want to see 'User App Sessions' correctly, as follows (below image has the correct sorting):

We utilized Qlik Sense/Nprinting combination to send mail to defined users when a scheduled task fails. We used 'monitor apps REST Tasks' connection to build the source tables in the new qlik sense app. We reload this app on hourly basis and use Nprinting to send mail when it finds failed task status.

Thanks @Albarosæ ,  apparently my Operations Monitors is different since it doesn't find some necessary fields. But I think I understand the logic of what you built, and I'm trying to replicate it.

I comment if it works for me.

Greetings.

Hello @Digvijay_Singh , thanks for the information, I think it is a good alternative but it would still be ideal if the load drop alerts were almost immediate to be able to react in a timely manner. It seems to me that at some point I read about the sending of mail immediately after the drop of a load, I am going to investigate about it.

Greetings.

Looks like people found below solution helpful, I haven't got chance to implement it.
