Unsupported - The Qlik Sense Extension Usage Dashboard is a Qlik application that parses application meta-data to uncover which applications use extension objects. The sources for this data is the meta-data fetch from the QS Telemetry project (https://github.com/eapowertools/qs-telemetry-dashboard) and QRS API calls.

App is showing extensions that are not currently used by the published sheet #7

Hello,

This app is going to be great and extremely useful so thanks for pulling it together.

We noticed that it's showing many extensions that are not being used in a given app/sheet.

Thinking that maybe some date or flag needs to be added to the telemetry metadata generator and then added to the extension usage data model to cull the unused extensions out. Here are some details in an example.

Thanks! The Extension Usage Dashboard is showing incorrect app to app extension relationships.docx

Hey there,

I'd be curious to know whether this aligns with an issue that I am aware of. Unfortunately since it requires changes to the Telemetry meta-data fetch code I am awaiting a new version of it for a finalized release.

Files: package.zip

Installation description:

Unzip
Import new QVF
Navigate to Share\TelemetryDashboard\MetadataGenerater\lib and rename getAppsEngine.js to getAppsEngine-default.js
Place package\getAppsEngine.js into Share\TelemetryDashboard\MetadataGenerater\lib
Reload TelemetryDashboard-1-Generate-Metadata
Reload Extension Usage Dashboard - 1.0.0 (Beta) w REST Connector Fix.qvf

Let me know if that solves it otherwise we'll need to dig in deeper into what the cause is.

Hello Levi,

I gave the fix a try and unfortunately, it did not work out. The sheet ID I was using as an example which still exists in the environment, has dropped out of the dashboard completely.

Hello @levi-turner

Same issue here. And that's a big one because we are currently removing the old extensions for new native object and this dashoard is the tool we use to control the project. In my opinion as previoulsy discussed, the root is the use of the Telemetry Dashboard. Extension usage must show only the current metadata while TS must show an historical data. Maybe using API instead of logs would solve that?

Best regards,

Simon
