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.
Manually update app load scripts can be extremely time consuming. Ctrl-Q NR can assist in that use-case by both identifying apps that should be updated, doing a find-replace operation of all apps' load scripts, and finally reloading the apps.
Ctrl-Q NR and Node-RED can be used to get metadata for users in a Qlik Sense Cloud tenant. This can be combined with the email node in Node-RED to create a basic but quite flexible email service that can send emails to all users with email addresses in the tenant.
Ctrl-Q NR has a node that mirrors the reload state of all apps in a Qlik Sense Cloud tenant. Using this node it is possible to build logic that triggers when (for example) app reloads change from "Running" to "Failed".
Ctrl-Q NR includes license nodes for both client-managed and cloud versions of Qlik Sense. These nodes make it easy to create license monitoring solutions that will for example alert fixed number of days before licenses expire.
Ctrl-Q NR is a set of Node-RED nodes that make it easy to use both Qlik Sense Cloud and client-managed Qlik Sense from within the low-code Node-RED platform.
