Tools to monitor Access Point when it is down or unresponsive

[#1]

Hi All,

I wanted to know if there are any monitoring tools which can send alert emails to admins whenever the Access point is down or unresponsive. I have been having this issue a lot lately and my stakeholders keep sending me emails about the it being down. In actual terms I don't feel the access point being actually down it just doesn't load the contents/calculations. It sort of feels like QlikView struggles to allocate its memory and CPU to either reloading data load and dashboard tasks or to load things on Access point.

To resolve this issue I just go ahead and restart the services but due to this some of the tasks on QMC get aborted.

Appreciate any help.

Regards,

Janaki

Hi Dathu,

No help with that.

Check server monitor QV tools or Governance dashboard.

Hi Dathu,

Both the Governance dashboard and QV Usage Analyzer doesn't help, since I need some tool/dashboard that will send me email trigger when the Access point is down due to QlikView not able to figure out where to allocate its memory. Should it allocate to running QMC tasks or display and calculate dashboards on Access Point.

There are many ways you can monitor your QlikView services.

QlikView WebServer Service for instance generate log messages all the time to this folder in a standard QlikView installation:

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer\Log\

In my development environment I get a new log file every day like 20150824.txt for today. Here QlikView WebServer Service reports many activities. Maybe monitoring this file could be monitored for you purposes.

Futhermore it is possible to take advantage of Windows built-in monitoring facilities where the WMI (Windows Management Intrumentation) API can be used to get pretty much all necessary information that relates to memory consumption, CPU consumption etc etc. This information can be retrieved remotely easily by using a multitude of script languages or programming languages. Windows PowerShell is probably one of the better tools for this purpose.
