Qliksense

Abstract I’ll show how to connect to Qliksense Repository API via sql using Apache Drill. In this example Qliksense engine service runs at https://qlik.redaelli.org:4242/ Download Download and unzip Apache Drill from https://drill.apache.org/download/ Configure Create or edit the file conf/storage-plugins-override.conf "storage": { "qliksense" : { "type" : "http", "cacheResults" : true, "connections" : { "p4242" : { "url" : "http://nginx.redaelli.org/qlik/", "method" : "GET", "authType" : "none", "userName" : null, "password" : null, "postBody" : null, "params" : ["filter"], "dataPath" : null, "requireTail" : true, "inputType" : "json", "xmlDataLevel" : 1 } }, "proxyType" : "direct", "enabled" : true } } At the moment Apache drill cannot query external rest services with client certificates DRILL-8052 and so we need a reverse proxy like Nginx....

Abstract When you do a stress test/troubleshooting of a qliksense node it is useful to collect the responses of the healthcheck api and extract some useful info from them (which and how many applications were loaded in memory, …) Collecting data I usually use the command line tool qsense for querying the Qliksense repository while [ 1 ] do qsense healthcheck qlikhost1.redaelli.org ~/certificates/qlik/client.pem >> healthcheck.jl sleep 60 done Each line of the file healthcheck....

Complex web sites read and write data from/to several backend systems using different interfaces (sql, soap , rest, rpc,..). But it could be simpler and useful to create a single endpoint and interface for all the backends. With GraphQL the frontend applications get from the backends only the list of fields they need and do not receive the static list of the fields provided by the soap/rest services. I played with graphql and Walmart lacinia implementing one GraphQL backend for LDAP/Active Directory and one for Qliksense Repository rest api....
