Hello Qlik Users!

How can I track app RAM usage over time?

How do I optimize my applications so that they can stay under the limit?

These are a couple of the questions we frequently hear. There hasn’t been a clear way to get a holistic picture of what is happening within your tenant…

Until now.

I am happy to share with you the new App Analyzer for Qlik SaaS!

The App Analyzer will help answer those questions and more! The app provides insights on:

• App, Table and Field memory footprints
• Synthetic keys and island tables to help improve app development
• Threshold analysis for fields, tables, rows and more
• Reload times and peak RAM utilization by app
• And much more!

The App Analyzer uses a single REST connection to iterate over application metadata endpoints within a tenant. The data retrieve can then be measured against tenant quotas and user-defined thresholds to empower Admins to act on the insights that the app reveals. To see the app in action, check out this demo:

A few things to note:

• This app is provided as-is and is not supported by Qlik Support.
• An undocumented API was used in the document script that is experimental.
• 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 can be found at the bottom of this post. This app was created internally and will be supported by the developers of the app. They will be following this thread so be sure to post any questions or issues here so they can be addressed.

Thank you for the 1st (or I think is 1st) monitoring app for Qlik SaaS. I love it!

Keeping a check not only on your apps, but the available resources as well.

Thank you very much for this App as well as the clear guide. This is going to be very helpful. 

In the video at about 2:06 you mention the Tenant bass ram is going to be increased to 5GB. Very interesting. Do you know if the decision is also going to impact on Qlik Sense Business, taking it to 2.5G maybe? 

[Jamie_Gregory]

@johngouws You're welcome! Please let us know if you need anything else.

I will check with the team and let you know!

[Thomas_Hopp]

@johngouws Thank you for sharing your feedback and glad to hear to the App will be helpful for you and others as well.

In regards to your question about the increased Memory up to 5 GB for our Enterprise offering. The increase will only happen for our Enterprise offering. We will not change the Qlik Sense Business limits and so to speak leaving it at 1.25 GB for now. We are constantly watching the market and as a result of that we are now adjusting the Qlik Sense Enterprise limits only first.

Let me / us know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,

Thomas

@Thomas_Hopp . Thank you for getting back to me on this. It makes sense doing QSE first. I hope you consider moving QSB up slightly, even to 2GB, one day. 

Kind regards,

John

Hi all, @Thomas_Hopp , is it possible to use this app with a QSE on Windows? a customer ask to use the same app in all the enviroments, Saas and On premises.

Thanks

[AlexOmetis]

@Marco_Dugnani  - the App Metadata Analyser that comes with QSE on Windows (not installed by default but is in the Repository Default Apps folder that you can import) is pretty much identical to this I think - give that a go. 

[SahrierParvez]

Is there any user log for user analyze.

Thank You

Hi @SahrierParvez 

Try the Users API.  It is set up the same way as the Apps API in the documentation Install Guide above.  You can build your own report using it.  Information about the APIs available can be found on here https://qlik.dev/apis.   The Users one is still 'experimental' so some things might not work.  Not all of the GET endpoints worked for me

but our Partner advised including the extra tenantId parameter, ie. 

https://{tenantname}.{region.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/users?tenantId={tenantId}

@SahrierParvez not exactly sure what you are looking for, but in SaaS you will not get access to the system logs. There are a growing number of APIs that you can utilize to enhance your capabilities.
