Hi,

I have got a reload schedule for all of the monitoring apps on our Qlik Cloud tenant. However, the access evaluator (running every 4 hours between 7 am and 7 pm) is regularly not reloading successul - about 3 times per week.

The error message is always the same - just while loading different tables in the script - see below.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Qlik SaaS? And what can I do about it?

Regards

Max

Hello @Raju_6952

The closest to what you are looking for would be the Qlik Cloud App Analyzer, though it may not include all the information you are looking for. If you are missing details, I recommend heading to its GitHub page and leaving feedback on what you want in the monitoring app.

All the best,
Sonja
