How To Configure The Monitor Apps (Data Connections) After An Upgrade.

This article explains how to configure the Monitor Apps (Data Connections) after an upgrade.

When upgrading Qlik Sense, the existing (old) data connections for the Monitoring apps will not be updated, and, as a consequence, they will fail to reload. Therefore, some manual updates are required.

Two alternatives exist depending on whether or not you have already upgraded Qlik Sense.

1. Manual updates if you have not yet upgraded Qlik Sense
2. Manual updates if you have already upgraded Qlik Sense

Environment:

Monitor Apps fail on reload due to updated REST connections - "skip server certificate validation": QVX_UNEXPECTED_END_OF_DATA: Failed to connect to server
 

1. Manual updates if you have not yet upgraded Qlik Sense

Do the following:

1. Take note of any modifications made to the qrs_ data connections, such as changing the URL from "localhost" to "MyServerName".

2. Before performing the upgrade, delete the qrs_ data connections from the Data connections section in the QMC.

3. Perform the upgrade.

   With the addition of the latest Monitoring apps during upgrade, updated qrs_ data connections will also be created.
   
    

2. Manual updates if you have already upgraded Qlik Sense

Do the following:

1. Take note of any modifications made to the qrs_ data connections, such as changing the URL from "localhost" to "MyServerName".

2. Delete the qrs_ data connections from the Data connections section in the QMC.

3. Manually import the latest License Monitor and Operations Monitor from %ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Repository\DefaultApps into the QMC. You may be prompted to rename the apps as you import them, which is optional.

   With the import of the License Monitor and Operations Monitor, updated qrs_ data connections will also be created.

4. [Optional] Remove the duplicate License Monitor and Operations Monitor, which were manually imported in step 3.
