This is part 3 in a series about how healthchecks.io can be used to solve various kinds of monitoring scenarios for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW) environments. Most of the Butler family of DevOps tools for Qlik Sense can now be monitored using healthchecks.io or similar tool. If one of the supported Butler tools go down, an alarm is raised and one or more alerts are sent via email, Slack, Teams, PagerDuty or other supported channels.

Failures could actually happen for many reasons, not only the Butler tool itself failing: Thank’s to the passive nature of black box monitoring, all such issues will be caught if they result in the monitored system (i.e. one of the Butler tools) is no longer able to contact the monitoring tool (healthchecks.io).
