The latest release of Butler Sheet Icons (BSI), version 3.8.0, introduces several practical features to enhance your experience with Qlik Sense sheet thumbnails. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and how to use it.
Butler 13.0 provides consistent, rich reload alerts for both client-managed and cloud versions of Qlik Sense in one powerful tool. Simplify your Qlik Sense monitoring and never miss a beat, whether you're in the cloud or on-premise.
Butler SOS 10.2 focus on making it easier to monitor large Qlik Sense environments. New major features include (very!) flexible categorisation and visualisation of Qlik Sense log events, as well as visualisation of Butler SOS' config file.
Client-managed Qlik Sense 2024-May adds built-in cache warming. This post takes a quick first look at this feature, comparing it to the Butler CW tool that does the same thing, but as a standalone tool.
Tech deep-dive where we look at how users can be automatically logged into Qlik Sense to generate realistic, artificial load on the system. PowerShell and Selenium is used to automate Chrome.
The latest version of Butler adds monitoring of Qlik Sense licenses and automatic release of unused licenses. This can both save money and reduce the risk of users not getting access to your Sense environment.
Managing user sessions in client-managed Qlik Sense can be tricky or even outright difficult in large Sense environments. Ctrl-Q includes powerful tools that makes this work easier!
Using AppleScript the Safari browser can be remote controlled, automatically logging several users into Qlik Sense.
Start Qlik Sense reload tasks from anywhere, using a single http call. Can be very useful when source systems need to trigger data reloads in Sense. The solution is low cost and can be made as secure as needed using Azure Event Grid and Function Apps.
Ctrl-Q lets you visualise Qlik Sense task dependencies as trees or - as of Ctrl-Q 3.15 - network graphs! This gives an unprecedented overview of complex task chains in any Qlik Sense Enterprise environment.
Summary of what's new in the various Butler tools. Better real-time monitoring of Qlik Sense via Butler SOS, Azure support for the original Butler and bulk task import in Ctrl-Q.
Ctrl-Q version 3.14 improve stability for task-related commands. Bulk operations on reload and external program tasks are now both more flexible and stable.
