Entitlement Analyzer for Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS (Cloud only)

[Jamie_Gregory]

We are happy to share with you the new Entitlement Analyzer for Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS! This application will enable you to answer questions like: 

• How can I track the usage of my Tenant over time? How are my entitled users using the Tenant? 
• How can I better understand the usage of Analyzer Capacity vs. Analyzer & Professional Entitlements? 

The Entitlement Analyzer is only available for Qlik Cloud subscription types. Refer to the compatibility matrix within the Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps repository for an overview of which monitoring app is compatible with which subscription type.

The Entitlement Analyzer app provides insights on: 

• Entitlement usage overview across the Tenant 
• Analyzer Capacity – Detailed usage data and a predication if you have enough 
• How users are using the system and if they have the right Entitlement assigned to them 
• Which Apps are used the most by using the NEW "App consumption overview" sheet
• And much more! 

The Entitlement Analyzer uses a new API Endpoint to fetch all the required data and will store the history in QVD files to enable even better Analytics over time. 

 A few things to note: 

• This app is provided as-is and is not supported by Qlik Support. 
• It is recommended to always use the latest app. 
• Information is not collected by Qlik when using this app. 

The app as well as the configuration guide are available via GitHub, linked below.

Hello Qlik team,

Useful application. Since this is the same connection for all requests, you might want to avoid using the REST connection multiple times. 
Why not connect just once before running the logic ?

Regards.

Benoît.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for the latest changes on the app. The new dashboard "App consumption overview" is specially useful for us. However, we miss the "Sheet" dimension on the app to be able to do a sheet usage analysis as we do in the Sense on-premise platform.

I have checked the API documentation and noticed that the Licenses endpoint is not returning the sheetId. 

It would be great if you can add the sheetId to the endpoint so we can have full detail of  apps and sheets usage in the SaaS, the same as we currently have in our on-premise instance.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Àlex

Hi, 

I have created the API key and setup the app. I am however receiving an error when reloading:

"The following error occurred:

(Connector error: HTTP protocol error 401 (Unauthorized): Requested resource requires authentication.)

The error occurred here:

RestConnectorMasterTable: SQL SELECT

..."

Any idea ?

Testing the REST Connector was successful:

Hi @DominiqueHoremans ,

I assume you have added the API key* under the Query Headers panel of your REST connection setup?
Name: Authorization 
Value: Bearer <YourApiKey>

*You should also check that your API Key has not expired.

[DominiqueHoremans]

Hi @kmn 

indeed, under Query Headers

and the expiration date is quite far in the future:

@DominiqueHoremans  for us to troubleshoot better since this is most likely not an issue related to the app but to the authentication against the items endpoint of your tenant, I would suggest contacting Qlik Support and explaining in detail the issue. 

Kind regards,

I am getting this error when attempting to load the app.

The following error occurred:

Connector ;REST for Entitlement Analyzer not found (: POST /endpoints failed with status code 404. Error: Connection ';REST for Entitlement Analyzer' not found LIB CONNECT TO ';REST for Entitlement Analyzer')

The error occurred here:

LIB CONNECT TO ';REST for Entitlement Analyzer'

[DominiqueHoremans]

@kmn I will, after my holiday 🙂

@SDT  It seems that the name you have given to your REST connection does not match the value of your 'SET vu_rest_connection =' variable statement. Maybe the semicolon (;) before the REST? Shouldn't it be like this:
LIB CONNECT TO 'REST for Entitlement Analyzer'?

[DominiqueHoremans]

@kmn issue found, typo from my side in the tenant name. Everything is working fine. Thanks for the help and nice app.
