Imagine being out on a Saturday morning, drinking coffee and catching some sun when a message on Slack from a colleague tells you about an incident on your Kafka infrastructure. Fortunately, you are able to identify the problem and correct it from where you are but wouldn't it be good to know about that Kafka broker going down at the time that this has happened? Is there a way to prevent that from happening again? Yes, there is: Lenses alerts.

Today we announced the launch of Qlik Alerting (formerly Ping Alerting from RoxAI), as a value-added product for Qlik Sense. Qlik Alerting provides sophisticated, data-driven alerts directly from Qlik Sense – empowering our customers to more proactively manage by exception and respond quickly when issues arise. Like the Jedi, everyone could benefit from having a sixth sense.
