Calculate consumed minutes for Analyzer Access Licensees as if they were on Analyzer Capacity license
In our Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows environment we are using Analyzer Capacity license for most users (i.e users consuming minutes when using Qlik Sense), and we have a restricted amount of users who are assigned a dedicated Analyzer Access license (i.e they can use Qlik Sense as much as they want).
In the monitoring apps we can identify the "capacity users" consuming the highest amount of minutes, so that we can assign them a dedicated Analyzer Access license if we want to.
But we would like to calculate how many minutes the dedicated Analyzer Access users would have used each month, had they still been Analyzer Capacity users. The monitoring apps show us the number of sessions for each Analyzer Access user, but we can't compare their usage to the Analyzer Capacity users' usage, so we can't know for sure if we should move some of the Analyzer Access users back to the Capacity license (something we would want to do if they won't consume many minutes anymore).
Is it possible to calculate consumed minutes for Analyzer Access users, as if they were using the Analyzer Capacity license?
There are some logs related to professional, analyzer and capacity allocations that you could look at, and with some transforming of that data it could to give you an indication on usage.
You will will find traces of these logs in log monitor and even the license monitor.
Yes, I suppose one could try to calculate the total session time per Analyzer user, that could give an indication but it will probably not be comparable with the consumed minutes reported for Capacity users. A lazier way could be to look at number of sessions per day or per month, that's kind of already available in the License Monitor app.
To get an accurate number it is likely that Qlik would need to implement new logging, since activity in combination with the session time is what consumes minutes. The second image on the Analyzer Capacity comsumption documentation page illustrates a 16 minute session consuming only twelve minutes.
