License Monitor

The License Monitor loads service logs to populate charts and tables covering token allocation, usage of login and user passes, and errors and warnings.

Information noteFor a more detailed description of the sheets and visualizations, visit the story About the License Monitor that is available from the app overview page, under Stories.

For the location and naming convention of the log files, see Logging.

Information noteIf you have a user-based license with professional and analyzer access, you will instead see figures relevant to that license type.

License Monitor sheets

The License Monitor sheets display Qlik Sense performance on the current node, and, when properly configured for multi-node (as described in Configuring multi-node environments), the app includes information across all nodes.

License Monitor sheets
Overview

Displays an overview of unallocated access versus total access, the available and total analyzer capacity (in minutes), summary data about login and user access sessions over the last 7, 28, and 90 days, changes in the allocation of license tokens over the last 7 days, and license usage over time.

User Detail Allows the user to select a time period over which to display user access pass sessions, the number of users starting sessions, and the individual users starting sessions.
Usage by App Allows the user to select a time period over which to display the apps for which access passes are being used and the number of tokens consumed by each app.
Timeline The Timeline sheet displays token usage over time so administrators can monitor usage and anticipate future token allocation needs.
User Access History

Allows the user to select a time period over which to display user access pass sessions, the number of users starting sessions, and the individual users starting sessions.

Information noteOnly valid for token-based license.
Login Access History

Allows the user to select a time period over which to display login pass utilization, login access users, and denials of login access.

Information noteOnly valid for token-based license.
Allocation History

Displays the latest changes and changes over selected times to the allocation of license tokens to login and user access passes.

Usage Snapshot

Overview sheet providing snapshot view of license allocation and historical usage.

Unified Licensing History

Displays the license usage for Qlik Sense and QlikView side by side.

Information noteTo see the QlikView license usage, the new monitor_apps_qlikview_logs data connection must point to the folder containing the QlikView Server logs. You update the data connection in the QMC.
Log Details Lists servers in the cluster and provides details about license usage entered in server’s logs.
Information noteData in the License Monitor is updated when the app is reloaded. Data is not live.
Information note License Monitor uses the combination of ProxySessionId and ObjectId from the repository's AuditSecurity logs for deriving its session counts. If the same proxy session opens multiple apps, this count can appear as slightly higher than other monitoring apps due to their respective design choices. The actual token consumed per user session remains unaffected.
