Other Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps

OEM Dashboard for Qlik Cloud

The OEM Dashboard is a Qlik Sense application for Qlik Cloud designed for OEM partners to centrally monitor usage data across their customers’ tenants. It provides a single pane to review numerous dimensions and measures, compare trends, and quickly spot issues across many different areas.

For more information and to download the app and usage instructions, see Qlik Cloud OEM Dashboard & Console Settings Collector.

The Qlik Cloud monitoring applications are provided as-is and are not supported by Qlik. Over time, the APIs and metrics used by the apps may change, so it is advised to monitor each repository for updates and to update the apps promptly when new versions are available.

If you have issues while using these apps, support is provided on a best-efforts basis by contributors to the repositories on GitHub.

Brilliant, thanks @Sonja_Bauernfeind .
I'll look at putting together a sheet with some similar info.

Thanks so much for the apps. We've been using them for quite some time! 

I'm not finding a way to be able to search across all apps on Qlik Cloud to get table source connections from the load script. In QlikView, I used the Governance Dashboard to search all application lineage for a particular Source. Is there an app that can help with this? 

For example, I may need to know which applications have a connection to a table named SampleSQLDB.dbo.MyDataTable. 

Thanks

Hi @jackm75 ,

Glad you like the monitoring apps! As far as tracking lineage within the apps, the Reload Analyzer offers the "Connections" sheet which traces lineage at the Space:Connection level, so you can see every app that relies on a specific connection**. Getting more specific than this requires evaluated script log scanning which was easier to achieve on-premises as there logs stored on the file system. This would require programmatically downloading every full reload log to a location and then scanning them, which is out of scope of the monitoring apps today.

If you want to see what the raw data looks like, you can reload an application and then navigate to: /api/v1/apps/{app_id}/reloads/metadata

** Most connection lineage is captured but not all, for example AutoML or other Advanced Analytics connections are a gap here.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

@Daniel_Pilla appreciate for the quick response! I did see the Connections sheet, but it doesn't get to the level that I was hoping to have. I'll take a look at the raw metadata returned by the API, thanks!

Hey there,

I'm come across a strange issue trying to monitor sessions with the Entitlement Analyzer, which makes me wonder if there is any known issue with the /api/v1/licenses/consumption endpoint (which is used by the Entitlement Analyzer) 

I've seen that for licenseUsage = TIME_LICENSE, the minutesUsed isn't always aligned with the durationMinutes

rzenere_avvale_0-1709232645831.png

In the highlighted cells, I would expect a value <= of the minutesUsed (like the not highlighted cells).
For licenseUsage = ASSIGNED_LICENSE, minutesUsed is always 0, so durationMinutes is the only way for me to say how much lasted a session
Am I reading those columns right in this situation? Or am I missing anything? (i.e. durationMinutes tracks also the time outside of an app?)

Hey there @Sonja_Bauernfeind ,
I'm not sure it's an issue with the app itself or a misunderstanding from my side of what the API (and consequently the Entitlement Analyzer) is exposing
But ok, I'll try asking directly on github
