📧

Task Failure Notifications

Get notified when tasks fail or are stopped, with notifications sent to Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, InfluxDB, New Relic, and more. Full support for HTML/Markdown formatting.

✅

Task Success Notifications

Know when those important reloads have completed successfully. Nicely formatted emails with all the details you need.

🗂️

Save Logs from Failed Reloads

Butler can save logs from failed reloads, sorted by date. Finding what caused a reload to fail is now easier than ever!

⚙️

Monitor Windows Services

Make sure Qlik Sense services are always running. Start/stop alerts can be sent to multiple destinations with continuous metrics.

📅

Advanced Scheduler

Trigger reloads in a much more flexible way compared to the QMC scheduler. It's essentially Cron for Qlik Sense.

🗃️

Key-Value Store

Send parameters between reload tasks. Stash parameters in the first task and pull them in following tasks. Optional TTL support.

👥

Monitor and Release User Licenses

Monitor license usage in real time by license type and automatically release licenses that are no longer used.

🪪

Monitor and Alert on Sense Server License

Continuously track the server license and alert before it expires.

🖥️

Monitor Sense Server Version

Record Sense server versions over time in InfluxDB to reduce the risk of running outdated, insecure releases.

🔗

Task Chaining with Parameters

Create chained app reloads and pass any number of parameters between apps.

▶️

Start Tasks via REST API or MQTT

Start reloads from scripts or upstream systems via REST or MQTT. Include key–value parameters, or target tasks by tag or custom property.

🔁

Partial App Reloads

Trigger full or partial app reloads using Butler's REST API when only subsets of data need updating.

🧾

App Metadata Extract

Extract metadata for one or all apps in a cluster—useful for backups and operational checks.

📣

Keep Your Users in the Know

Automatically inform Slack or Teams channels when new data is available.

🌍

Runs Anywhere

Windows, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, or macOS. Standalone binaries—no installation required.

🔌

Integrations

Send events to New Relic and Signl4. Monitor Butler itself with InfluxDB/Grafana or New Relic. MQTT and webhooks supported.
