Monitoring detailed consumption for capacity-based subscriptions
With the Data Capacity Reporting App, you can monitor how your organization consumes licensed capacity—both at a high level and in detail. The detailed reports help you understand how usage aligns with your subscription entitlements. For example, you can see exactly which reloads, automations, or reports that contributed to the consumption.
The Data Capacity Reporting App is available with Qlik Cloud capacity-based subscriptions.
App content
Overview sheet
The Overview sheet shows your subscription entitlements and usage. Use it to track current capacity and monthly usage over the past 12 months across all Qlik Cloud value meters.
Detailed sheets
The app also includes detailed sheets with usage metrics for the current and previous two months. These metrics include:
-
Data for Analysis: Total data loaded into or created in Qlik Cloud. Data is counted once, regardless of how many times it is analyzed. This metric is measured monthly based on peak usage compared to purchased capacity. See Data for Analysis for more details.
-
Data Moved: Total volume of data moved to cloud destinations, with an unlimited number of sources and targets. Data moved into Qlik Cloud is excluded. Available source types depend on your subscription, while data can be moved to any target type. This metric is measured from the start of each month. See Data Moved for more details.
-
Third Party Transformations: Applies to all datasets that are registered and used in transformations but not delivered by Qlik Talend Data Integration. Measured from the start of each month.
-
Automation Runs: All automation executions using Automations. Measured from the start of each month.
-
Reports: Reports distributed using Qlik Reporting Service to other Qlik Cloud Analytics users in your tenant. Measured from the start of each month.

-
Job executions: Number of Job task runs.
-
Job duration: Total duration of your Job executions.
Talend metric tracking requires configuration in both Qlik Cloud and Talend Cloud. For more information, see:

Distributing detailed consumption reports
You must be a tenant administrator with the Private Analytics Content Creator role to distribute detailed consumption reports. The reports are delivered through an app generated from the Administration activity center and stored in your personal space. You can publish the app to any managed space.
Consumption data is collected once per day in the morning (Central European Time). This means that when a tenant switches to a capacity-based license, no data file is available immediately for that day. You must wait until the next data collection before the data becomes available.
To ensure you provide the most recent data, publish a new version of the app every day.
Apps generated previously and stored on your tenant can't be refreshed and aren't updated. You must replace them with newly distributed versions and share those versions again if needed.
Do the following:
- In the Administration activity center, go to the Settings page.
-
Select the Tenant tab.
-
In the Detailed consumption reports section, click Distribute.
The app is now available in your personal space.
