Why is this useful?
If the Qlik Sense server license expires, the Qlik Sense environment will go into a disabled state and users will not be able to access Sense.
Butler can monitor the Qlik Sense server license and alert if the license is about to expire.
The number of days before expiration that the alert should be sent is configurable in the Butler.qlikSenseLicense.serverLicenseMonitor.alert.thresholdDays setting.
How it works
Butler will periodically poll the Qlik Sense server for information about the Qlik Sense server license.
The retrieved information can be stored in/sent to zero or more of InfluxDB, webhooks and MQTT.
If the license is about to expire, Butler will send an alert to the configured alert destinations.
The alert will be sent a configurable number of days before the license expires, giving you time to renew the license.
Continusly storing info in InfluxDB and sending to other destinations, as well as sending alerts, can be individually enabled/disabled for each destination using the sendRecurring and sendAlert settings for each destination in the config file.
Information stored in InfluxDB
Description of what data is stored in InfluxDB is available here.
Sample Grafana dashboard
Here is an example of a Grafana dashboard that shows the version of the Sense server, and also some info related to the Sense server license:
