Setting up reload task failure alert on Qlik SaaS Data Gateway

[gpatanka]

Hello,

Our Qlik SaaS Data Gateway was frequently stopping without notifying us because the service appeared to be running. To address this, we created a sample task that runs at specific intervals. If the task fails, we receive an alert email via Outlook. We accomplished this using Qlik Automation.

Bonus Tip: While Qlik SaaS typically schedules reloads on an hourly basis, automation allows us to schedule tasks as frequently as every 30 seconds.

Hi!
Great solution! Using Qlik Automation to monitor the Data Gateway is a smart approach.

Scheduling tasks as frequently as every 30 seconds is impressive. Did you encounter any limitations or challenges while setting this up? I mean:

Were there any noticeable performance impacts on the Data Gateway or Qlik SaaS?
How did you ensure the task is lightweight and doesn’t interfere with other reloads?

Have you considered combining this with log analysis or other tools to get deeper insights into why the Gateway stops? Automating log parsing could complement your setup and help identify the root cause.
