Getting the Task information from log files

[adbdkb]

When we run a task in Qlik Replicate,  we get the information regarding the status of the task on the UI.

Is it possible to get this information from the logs or if possible, will it be possible for me to somehow capture this information and write to a Kafka topic.  My Target endpoint is a kafka topic.  If I can write it to the same topic or if possible a separate topic, that will be very useful to help with reconciliation - as we will not have access to the UI in production.  But we will be able to access the logs or the kafka topic messages

Thank you

Hello,

Check this community post which i think will also help in your case

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Replicate/Task-Creation/td-p/1909651

Also, you can utilize the control table called attrep_status

hope this helps!

Thanks

Thank you. 

So, do we define a task on attrep_status table to get the task related information?  Can that task have a kafka topic as a target endpoint?  Can you provide some more guidance on how I could use it?  

Also, for the first link, didn't understand how to use the counts part. Also, are there any examples or documentation for the REST APIs ?

Appreciate any help
