qlik.conf

If you use:

  • Remote Data Collector. Go to Windows machine where RDC is installed C:\Program Files (x86)\Metric Insights\Insightd\plugins
  • Local Data Collector. Go to machine where MI is installed /opt/mi/datacollector/plugins

Open or create qlik.conf file. With the help of this document you can perform the following operations:

Variable name Description
server
Enter server address. If Remote Data Collector runs on the QlikView server then enter 'localhost'; otherwise if it runs on a different machine, enter the QlikView server name (e.g. server=qlikview.metricinsights.com). Leave blank if pulling .qvw documents via the file system
image_height
Enter the height value of email picture in pixels (0-5000) if you want to specify it.
image_width
Enter the width value of email picture in pixels (0-5000) if you want to specify it.
imageSize
This is a Boolean variable (true / false). Enable (or disable) the ability to resize of the picture email. If its value is "True", it is possible to set variables: Image_heigh, Image_width
datalocale
Enter the data locale property (delimiters of decimal fraction). Can be DataLocale.US or DataLocale.EU or null.
If EU, the data parses with European type of delimiters (",").
If US or null - with standart (".").
obj_id_filter
Enter IDs of objects to narrow the list of QlikView documents (comma-separated) after download documents. Wild card (*) is allowed. (e.g., *SH-2*, *SH-3*)
obj_name_filter
Enter names of objects to narrow the list of QlikView documents (comma-separated) after download documents. Wild card (*) is allowed. (e.g., Social Media*, demo*)
primary_date_format
Enter date format if you want to teach plugin how to handle it (e.g. primary_date_format=MMM YY)
pathToServerFolder
Enter path to folder with QV documents (e.g. C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\Documents) if you need to specify it.
scheme
Enter URI Scheme to access the QlikView Server (either http or https)
multi_server_config
This is a list of "alias-hostname" pairs for resolving server gotten from QMS API.
Here you can specify map of alias-hostname pairs if QlikView installed as a cluster.
1) if it's empty, plugin will try to get doc from main node (for single-server installations)
2) multi_server_config = auto (plugin gets hostname of node where requested doc is stored using Qlik QMS API.)
3) multi_server_config  = <internal_node_name>=<external_hostname_or_ip>, <internal_node_name>=<external_hostname_or_ip>, ... - Qlik QMS API returns internal address of node (e.g. multi_server_config  = qlikA = qv1.mi.com, qlikB = qv2.mi.com). If plugin works outside local network, it'll be unable to resolve correct ip. In this case need to use map of internal/external names.
use_auth_for_qms
This is a Boolean variable (true / false). Here you can set the possibility of authorization to QMS api. By default use_auth_for_qms=true.
path_to_exe
Enter path to folder exe path of plugin (e.g. path_to_exe=qv\QVPlugin.exe) if you need to specify it.
timeout
Enter time value in sec to increase session timeout time for qlikview plugin to refresh object list  (e.g. timeout=600000)
qvwFilter
Used to narrow the list of QlikView documents (comma-separated) before loading of QVW files. Wild card (*) is allowed. (e.g., Social Media*, demo*)
objectsInSheets
Specify the types of QlikView objects to pull data from Sheets (e.g., graph, table, text)
objectsInContainers
Specify the types of QlikView objects to pull data from Containers (e.g., graph, table, text)
