Accessing Detailed Reload Logs using Qlik Automation

[ShaneMichelon1]

Hi.

In Qlik Enterprise SaaS, you can see the reload history of an app.  When you look at the detail, there is an option to download the reload log, which has timestamps on each step.  In order to do some automated performance monitoring, I was wondering if there is any way to access this detail from Qlik Automation?  I have been able to access the summary of the reload using the get reload record block, but not the detailed log file.

Any thoughts?

Hi @ShaneMichelon1 

the detailed logs can be accessed via this API call:

https://TENANT.REGION.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/apps/APPID/reloads/logs/RELOADID 

So, you should be able to use the "RAW API" blocks to get what you need:

Hi @ShaneMichelon1 ,

i have tested this and it works:

{"blocks":[{"id":"D1A8C9BF-3E56-4DFF-9AE5-671327C860B0","type":"StartBlock","disabled":false,"name":"Start","displayName":"Start","comment":"","childId":"EF6C586A-700B-4DD8-A811-B5C2B716C3F3","inputs":[{"id":"run_mode","value":"manual","type":"select","structure":{}}],"settings":[],"collapsed":[{"name":"loop","isCollapsed":false}],"x":0,"y":0},{"id":"7A4EB57F-63E3-4281-8431-18D9A638121E","type":"EndpointBlock","disabled":false,"name":"rawAPIRequest","displayName":"Qlik Cloud Services - Raw API Request","comment":"","childId":null,"inputs":[{"id":"4add8960-2078-11ec-be2c-7fc55d771fe6","value":"apps/aaaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddddddddddd/reloads/logs/{$.listReloads.item.id}","type":"string","structure":[]},{"id":"3b992a40-2072-11ec-9f0e-ed01586a7e1b","value":"3ba1eed0-2072-11ec-aa67-f118ee53373a","type":"select","displayValue":"GET","structure":[]},{"id":"3b8b9090-2072-11ec-8c77-5195fbb0ca65","value":[{"key":null,"value":null}],"type":"object","mode":"keyValue","structure":[]},{"id":"993585d0-2839-11ec-b431-df4deed6c1ae","value":[{"key":null,"value":null}],"type":"object","mode":"keyValue","structure":[]}],"settings":[{"id":"blendr_on_error","value":"stop","type":"select","structure":[]},{"id":"cache","value":"0","type":"select","structure":[]},{"id":"automations_censor_data","value":false,"type":"checkbox","structure":[]}],"collapsed":[{"name":"loop","isCollapsed":false}],"x":0,"y":280,"datasourcetype_guid":"61a87510-c7a3-11ea-95da-0fb0c241e75c","endpoint_guid":"3b75dd80-2072-11ec-9043-3b2aff6123af","endpoint_role":"get"},{"id":"EF6C586A-700B-4DD8-A811-B5C2B716C3F3","type":"EndpointBlock","disabled":false,"name":"listReloads","displayName":"Qlik Cloud Services - List Reloads","comment":"","childId":null,"inputs":[{"id":"f287df70-e713-11ea-b5c2-9fdc86b669cb","value":"aaaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddddddddddd","type":"string","structure":{}}],"settings":[{"id":"maxitemcount","value":"1","type":"string","structure":{}},{"id":"blendr_on_error","value":"stop","type":"select","structure":{}},{"id":"cache","value":"0","type":"select","structure":{}},{"id":"automations_censor_data","value":false,"type":"checkbox","structure":{}}],"collapsed":[{"name":"loop","isCollapsed":false}],"x":0,"y":280,"loopBlockId":"7A4EB57F-63E3-4281-8431-18D9A638121E","datasourcetype_guid":"61a87510-c7a3-11ea-95da-0fb0c241e75c","endpoint_guid":"b3239a30-e713-11ea-be5a-1f4e73bc4bd3","endpoint_role":"list"}],"variables":[]}

 
save this code as a .json file and then upload the workspace to an empty automation.
You will need to replaced the app id ("aaaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddddddddddd") in both blocks.
You can also download the json file from here: https://files.qlik.com/url/dpxhggsuk7evqzvt

Please, let me know if this works for you, so that I can create a proper support article.

Thanks Daniele.  I'll give it a go.  But looking at your sample JSON, it doesn't look like a reload log with timestamps?

[Daniele_Purrone]

Hi @ShaneMichelon1 ,

I can confirm that the result will be the full log with timestamps

Currently, Qlik Automation does not provide direct access to the detailed reload logs. A summary of the reload is provided by the Get Reload Record block, but access to the detailed log file containing timestamps for each step is not made available.

You can, however, take a different route to automate performance monitoring.

Here's a recommendation:

Qlik Management API

Custom Logging
