We have a UDC (Active Directory) on Qlik Sense server. It has a daily trigger. In QMC, I found their last-sync time stamps are different. As you can see, user sync task was last executed on 3/18/2024 22:18. (see User sync task.png). But the UDC was last sync'd on 3/19/2024 14:23. (see UDC sync.png) Why the time are different?

Hello Qlik Community, 
Recently I was posed with a question around .DS_Store Vulnerabilities that came up during a vulnerability scan on a Qlik Sense Server that a customer of mine has. I reviewed the vulnerability, and it seems that if customers uses Apple Products and browse folder structures, they can leave junk files that can open vulnerabilities, like .DS_Store. I was wondering if there was a Qlik Sense Level way of preventing these vulnerabilities. 

Outside of Qlik Security, in Windows GPO, you can block extension types. It would be required to remove any of the .DS_Store files to clear the vulnerability, but blocking the extensions at the user GPO level should prevent new .DS_Stores from being added. Regular File Scans for the extension type could also be a good practice. 

I would like to be able to recommend a Qlik Level solution as I manage Qlik for the clients, not Windows. Any advice from the Qlik Community? 

Thanks!

Hello,

i have a problem in the application Licence Monitor , 

I can't find all months in the dashboard : 

Any solution for this ? 

Thanks

Hi

Other than using Qlik Cli or powershell, is there any other way we can configure or develop an app?

Which notifies a group via SMTP/email, when a task(or a batch of tasks) completes or an app loads successfully.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

How I can track which streams have a particular CUSTOM PROPERTIES item value or I want to search all the Stream names which contain 1/many custom properties item value same was as tags(list of occurance).

Note: Those CUSTOM PROPERTIES are Resource Type: Streams and has different Values.

Thanks

I like to get the list of all the task names, Host Server, Where Status=Started

Scenario:

We have 3-4 Qlik Engines, Schedulers in cluster. 

This morning, while some ETL pre-processing running, I manually checked each started tasks for the host server name. Found 2 servers where doing all the tasks. So immediately I restarted the Engine & Scheduler services on the 3rd server.

Because I took that proactive action, when the huge number of apps started to load, all servers started participating. Thus speeding the whole process.

So I need a good way to get the list of host servers which can give me a quick picture of whats happening with all the tasks recently processed/processing.

Hope I could explain properly. 

*Qlik Sense November 2021 Patch 12.

Same Copies of logs in 2 locations C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log and C:\Users\All Users\Qlik\Sense\Log

Are these duplicate or pointed/referenced file? 

Exactly same metadata (datetime, attributes, contents).

If duplicate, that means drive space feeling up x2 as much for each log.

Please let me know if any concerns or way arounds to avoid.

And Log>QlikMobilityRegistrar folder seems have millions of log files. Will it cause any performance bottleneck.

Hey Qlik Admins,

For Qlik Sense on Windows there is a massively useful resource in the Qlik Admin Playbook (https://adminplaybook.qlik-poc.com/) for administrators to guide them in administering a Qlik Sense site. However, more and more of our customers are moving to Qlik Cloud and a lot of tasks in the playbook do not translate directly to tasks in managing a Qlik Cloud tennant. 

Is there a similar resource available for managing Qlik Cloud Tennants? If so, please share!

If not, please share below tasks (and if possible the cadence you suggest) for activities that could be in such a playbook, so that we can start formulating some best practices together. To start, I have gone through all the topics in the current playbook to see if I think they are applicable to Qlik Cloud and added some of the tasks I can currently think of that should be added:

Curious for your input!

Ps. My current focus is on the "Analytics Services" side of Qlik Cloud, but feel free to also suggest tasks for the "Data intergration" part if you have any.

Hi Team,

We are trying to do POC for Qlik alerting and Insight advisor integration with Teams/slack. Can you please define the steps what need to be  check from server side  for integration with teams/slack for insight advisors.

Hello experts,

From the logs Engine>Trace>System_Engine.txt i got the records which mention,

"QrsSecurityManagement: Retrieved privileges in xx ms from the QRS"

What is privleges means here? Is it section access or retrieving privileges from Security rules for app?

In some cases i saw consecutive records of this. Why does Qlik retrieve this info for same user and app three times?

example

Also i saw some records of this which takes retrieve info +300000ms which equals 5minute.

We are excited to share the official release version of the Sense "App Metadata Analyzer" app!

This is a "productized" version of the super app that @Daniel_Pilla and @Levi_Turner posted on Qlik Branch (qs-app-metadata-analyzer).

For a deeper analysis of the application including a demo video, please refer to: https://adminplaybook.qlik-poc.com/docs/asset_management/apps/analyze_app_metadata_analyzer.html

June 2020 Update: In version 2.2.1 and forward of the App Metadata Analyzer, a new Alerting sheet has been added, along with two new variables in the load script. The purpose of this sheet and added capability is to make integration with Qlik Alerting as simple as possible. This new capability and view allows for a Qlik administrator to easily see what applications have breached what thresholds (as well as how many) and be quickly alerted on them. It also allows for the administrator to disable alerts for specific applications and mark others as under review, which might have a different cadence. Please see the attached guide for much more detail and example policies/configurations.
