Introduction
• What is Audit Logging?
• Process to extract meta data from
your scripts
• Different to the standard QlikView
script and server logs
Why Audit?
• How does this help?
• Monitor Performance
• Alert you to changes with the source
data
• Bug Fixing.
How it works
• Key touch points within the script
store Meta Data into a QlikView
table
• Once the script has finished QV
stores the table as a QVD file
• Use a Developer Only Dashboard to
interrogate the data

• Use them Sparingly
• Subroutines are very old programming
