Qlik Sense Performance Measurement of user interactions by application

[simonaubert]

Hello everyone,

I try to measure the performance of my applications when a user interact with it (so not for reloading the application). Typically :
-opening the app
-using a filter
-going from one sheet to an other
-changing a constant

-....

As of today, I rely on user feeling, not something very accurate ^^

Best regards,

Simon

A couple of suggestions for getting user calculation timings:

1. Qlikview Cookbook: QS Document Analyzer http://qlikviewcookbook.com/recipes/download-info/qs-document-analyzer/

2. The devtool extension https://github.com/erikwett/DevTool

@rwunderlich gestured to a super valuable asset (doc analyzer), but to give a slightly different view of things. When talking about performance, we can break out two facets: idealized and actual.

By idealized performance, I mean what does the app do in isolation from other activities on the system. This vein of analysis is ideal when doing performance tuning, optimization, and so on. This isolates the behavior of the app from the quirks of a system in the middle of the business day.

By actual performance, I mean what level of performance (RAM usage, response time) did a particular user experience at a particular point in time.

Based on that dichotomy, we on the Enterprise Architecture team at Qlik have come up with this break down of different tooling:

• Scalability: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Scalability/Qlik-Sense-Scalability-Tools/gpm-p/1490846
• Telemetry Dashboard: https://github.com/eapowertools/qs-telemetry-dashboard
• App Analyzer: https://github.com/eapowertools/qs-app-metadata-analyzer
• Document Analyzer: https://qlikviewcookbook.com/2019/02/qlik-sense-document-analyzer-v1-5/

Based on that break down, Telemetry is, in my view, the best fit here since it easily gives the system wide picture. But the other tools are super powerful when trying to take action on the performance data which Telemetry uncovers.

Thanks, I will have a look 🙂

Thanks. I already use the App Metadata Analyzer. I have also developed a dashboard to monitor the reloading step (e.g : by script section).

But that Telemetry Dashboard will help me a lot. I'm back to this project on Friday 🙂
