Alerting

Right - it was just a couple of releases ago that Butler focused on reload alerts.

But we're at it again - this time bringing the now battle-tested concepts around email alerts for failed reloads to more channels:

  • Slack
  • MS Teams
  • Outgoing webhooks
  • MQTT messages

With Slack, Teams and Email alerts you get access to all the layout and formatting options supported by those platforms.
Messages can look like this.
The idea is that whoever gets those alerts should be able to determine what went wrong, without having to dive into the logs in the QMC.
The full list of 40+ template fields are available for Slack, Teams and email.

Alerts can optionally also be sent to the app owner of the app that failed reloading.

Partial reloads

Unrelated to alerting, this new feature tries to solve a long standing issue with Qlik Sense: partial reloads.

Butler now exposes a REST API that makes it easy to do full or partial app reloads without having to go via a reload task.
The reload can be started via Butler's API or from a Sense load script (a single line is all that's needed!).
When the reload is done zero or more reload tasks can be started, with different tasks being used depending on whether the reload completed successfully or failed.

Full list of changes available in the changelog.
