Upgrading the Monitoring apps

Upgrading from Qlik SenseFebruary 2019 or earlier to Qlik SenseApril 2019 or later

In Qlik SenseApril 2019, the new monitor_apps_REST_user_condensed data connection was introduced. Make sure that the new monitor_apps_REST_user_condensed data connection is assigned to the same user (same user ID and password) as the other monitor_apps_REST data connections.

Also ensure that the URL in the connection string for the new monitor_apps_REST_user_condensed data connection has been updated to use the same hostname, and if applicable virtual proxy prefix, as set in the other monitor_apps_REST data connections.

Information noteThe user who is assigned to the monitor_apps_REST_ data connections must be rootadmin.

Upgrading from Qlik Sense 3.2.x to Qlik Sense June 2017

When you upgrade from Qlik Sense 3.2.x to June 2017, or later releases, eight new REST data connections are introduced (monitor_app_REST_). The existing qrs_ data connections will no longer function due to functional changes to the REST connector. These qrs_ data connections therefore can be removed.

Upgrading from Synchronized persistence to Shared persistence

If you upgrade from Synchronized persistence to Shared persistence, you may need to move the archived logs from the earlier version to the Shared persistence ArchivedLogs share.

  1. Create a new folder called OlderLogs (or the name of your choice) in the Service Cluster ArchivedLogs folder. You can find this in QMC > Service cluster.

  2. Move or copy the following subfolders from Archived Logs (in the older version) to this new OlderLogs folder in step 1.

    1. Default Archived Logs folder is c:\programdata\qlik\sense\repository\archived logs.

    2. Copy the following folders to the new location:

      1. Engine
      2. Repository
      3. Proxy
      4. Scheduler
      5. Printing
    Information noteThe reason to just move/copy these folders is that other log folders (like AppMigration and Script) are not loaded into the Monitoring apps and can be quite large in size.
  3. Verify in the ArchivedLogs folder (for the service cluster) that this OlderLogs folder is present, as well as folders for each node in your environment.

  4. Update the ArchivedLogsFolder data connection in QMC to point to the ArchivedLogs folder (as defined in QMC > ServiceCluster).

  5. Versions prior to 7.x of the governance*.QVDs located in c:\Programdata\Qlik\Sense\Log can be removed if wanted (optional).

  6. Reload the new Monitoring apps from the QMC.
