How to create a dashboard from Qlik Cloud audit events/logs?

Hi everyone,

In my Qlik Cloud console under Administration > Events, I can see detailed audit logs of user activity. For example:

Event Type: com.qlik.v1.analytics.analytics-app-client.sheet-view.opened
User: qlikcln@empresa.com
Timestamp: 2026-01-06T20:34:44Z
Data: {
"appId": "16c1eb01-bcb7-4ae8-9335-0b195ee0204f",
"sheetId": "kxjngV",
"sheetTitle": "COMPARATIVO ACTUAL vs ANTERIOR",
"clientTimeStamp": "2026-01-06T20:34:38.319Z"
}

 

I'd like to build a dashboard that tracks:

  • Which users accessed which apps/sheets
  • When and at what time they logged in
  • Usage patterns and frequency
  •  

My questions:

  1. What's the best way to extract this audit data programmatically?
  2. Has anyone created a similar monitoring dashboard? Any tips or sample scripts?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

May be use Qlik Rest API, get the information/Data from REST API connector using Qlik cloud App, store the data into QVDs, use those QVDs and create an new app with Monitoring Metrics.

Hi,
have you had a look at the Monitoring Apps that are provided by Qlik?

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/The-Qlik-Sense-Monitoring-Applications-for-C...

The App Analyzer App shows for example how many users an App has, how many sessions a user has etc.
What I haven't found at a first glance is the option to check the last logins etc.
But you can check how the apps are setup and can use the methodology.

As mentioned @bjoern , the monitors in the Qlik cloud already provide you with a lot of information.

Qlik support has provided details on how to execute the block through automation, available at the link below, and you can use the App Analyzer and several other monitoring apps.
Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps Workflow Guide - Qlik Community - 2134140

Regarding the user's last access, you can view it on a timeline in the App Analyzer itself, for example, or create a spreadsheet in this app and use a simple Date(Max(AppDate),'date format') to obtain this information for your users.

If you still need to access the events, go to Qlik Dev and search for the audit events: https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/audits
