How to connect Qlik sense to AWS ELB

[#1]

We installed a win server with qlik sense 3.02 and when accessing the machine directly it works fine.

we'd like to setup qlik as HA behind an ELB, but it seems like the health check of the ELB doesn't work.

this is the way we configured the health check:

HTTP:4248/form/

using curl it gets a response from the server.

is there a guide? what are we missing here?

Few months back we had raised a ticket Qlik Support ,they said Qlik Sense Dosent support ELB currently.
Don't know about the current status of this functionality.

Thanks,

Can you not do health check TCP to port 80 ?

already did that, the health check is fine - anything else i should do?

A major consideration is Qlik Sense platform leverages WebSockets technology (a complete list of Qlik Sense system requirements is available here:

http://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/Subsystems/Installation/Content/Introduction/system-requirements.ht... ).

If I am not wrong currently AWS ELB does not support WebSockets and stickiness simultaneously.

It is possible to do some work around, but if you get any problem later, you need to isolate Qlik product environment itself to do troubleshooting and then get support from Qlik Support.

Hope above information helps. Cheers!

‌One of my team wrote a blog on using AWS ELB for QlikSense

And yes the problem is the ELB doesn't support websockets,

i believe AWS have released an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that does but we haven't had time to test it yet.
