How to monitor Qlikview Documents Remotely?

How can one monitor Qlikview documents remotely, e.g. to check if a document is loaded/available?

Environments:

• Qlikview Server, any version

If you want to load-test a document, you might consider using QV Scalability Tools, available on Qlik Community, with a tool such as JMeter. 

However, if you need to emulate an user (logging in, opening a document, etc.) then unfortunately you cannot simply make a GET call to the document; this always returns the same HTML page calling Javascript which loads the document, regardless if the document is available or not. What you need to do instead is impersonate the user, for example using OLE Automation (macros from VBscript) to open then the document “in server” via HTTP Tunnel, apply a selection, then export an object to PNG.

A code example unfortunately is not available at this time--regardless, as custom code is supported by Consulting and not Technical Support.

Note: Debugging or writing custom code is supported by the Qlik Professional Services or Presales teams. This example is provided for demonstration purposes to explain specific scenarios. No Support or maintenance is implied or provided. Further customization is expected to be necessary and it is the responsibility of the end administrator to test and implement an appropriate implementation for their specific use case.
