Are there any updates on this? for instance I know that App Analyzer is now available for SaaS. Are there any other SaaS compatible apps now?

Ayaka_Hanazono · ‎2022-04-14

Hi, @drewjamison1396 Thank you for poting your question.

Currently, we have 2 monitoring apps for Qlik Cloud - App analyzer and Entitlement analyzer.

Please find more from each link.

Thank you!

Hi!
Is there an app to analyze calculation time in miliseconds of objects inside an app?
Thanks

Daniel_Pilla · ‎2022-11-22

Hello @msan,

Analyzing object-level performance is achievable in-product through the App performance evaluation capability. The output of this process provides precise calculation times for each object in the application that was scanned. This data is not housed in any monitoring apps, as this process must be run individually on a per-app basis.

Example response of a single object within the xml output:

<SheetObjects>
  <Id>WQUb</Id>
  <ObjectType>table</ObjectType>
  <Title>Metadata</Title>
  <sheetId>ba4c8098-e3a2-4741-b527-d1e66d2de674</sheetId>
  <sheetTitle>About</sheetTitle>
  <responseTimeSeconds>0.044672686</responseTimeSeconds>
</SheetObjects>

Cheers,

Hello,

Is there a possibility for SaaS users to drill down to sheet and/or object level in a report?

Like there is for on prem with Operations Monitor ?

Thx,

Sorin

Daniel_Pilla · ‎2023-02-03

Hi @Sorin39 ,

At this point in time, sheet-level and object-level usage data is not available in Qlik Cloud. While these events are technically logged and stored internally, they are not pushed as events to be consumed by customers. This level of logging is very verbose, and it would be a large increase in event logging to expose it. This is an educated guess on why it is not pushed today. @Thomas_Hopp can comment on this capability being on the roadmap or not.

Cheers,

Thanks, we can close this case.

francesco_menin · ‎2023-03-02

isn't there an "Operations Monitor" for the cloud Events too?

doynsc · ‎2023-03-21

Hi @Alan_Slaughter @Daniel_Pilla ,

The monitoring apps for the cloud are great. We have successfully deployed them for numerous happy customers.

Lots of people we talk to are interested in being able to see who has been using which apps for how long.

Do you have any advice on how to bring this information in? Is there a plan to create an operations/Sessions monitoring app for the Cloud environment?

Thanks,

Sam

Sonja_Bauernfeind · ‎2023-03-21

Hello @doynsc

Happy to hear that the currently available apps are working for you!

For your idea/request, I can see that this can already be achieved with the apps we currently have. See Operations Monitor for Qlik Sense SaaS (this will take you directly to the comment including the relevant information).

All the best,
Sonja
