Small disclaimer: This is rather techie stuff - but also quite useful if you want to understand what log info is available in client-managed Qlik Sense.
Intro
I have created a small tool called qs-log-scanner.
It is open source, the idea is to provide insights into what different kinds of logging subsystems exists in client-managed Qlik Sense.
This information is not documented anywhere (at least I have not found it!), but given qs-log-scanner it's pretty easy to get an understanding of what's going on in a Sense environment.
Looks like this:
Background
If you look in the Sense log files you see a "logger" field.
This basically tells what part of Sense the log message originated from.
For example, here are a couple of rows from the scheduler log file during startup of that Windows service:
Not entirely easy to read, but there is a "logger" field in there, and the second row has a value of "System.Scheduler.Scheduler.Main" in that field.
But what other logger (or subsystems as I prefer to call them) are there?
That's the question that qs-log-scanner tries to answer.
Spoiler: The blog post contains the answer...
So - long story short - check out the launch blog post for more info, or the GitHub repo if you want to try it out yourself. I recommend the blog post first though, it does give a bit more context that can be useful.
Enjoy!
