UDP alerting listener

Configures the UDP listener that receives task-reload alert signals from an on-premise Qlik Sense Enterprise environment, so KPImailer’s task-reload alerts fire the moment a reload finishes.

Permissions

This is an administrator-only setting, under Settings → Engine (advanced) - alongside the Qlik connector and render limit settings on the same page.

Steps

1. Open Settings → Engine (advanced) and find the Alerting listener card.

   

2. Set the UDP address and UDP port the listener binds to - these must match what your Qlik Sense Enterprise environment is configured to send alert signals to.

3. Turn on Listener enabled.

4. Select Save changes. The Listener status card confirms whether it’s Listening and which address it’s bound to - use Refresh to re-check after a change.

Worked example

An on-premise Qlik Sense environment is configured to send a UDP signal to KPImailer on every monitored task reload. The administrator sets the listener to 127.0.0.1:6660 (the KPImailer server’s local address), enables it, saves, and confirms Listening appears with the right bound address - from then on, task-reload alerts fire the instant a watched reload completes, rather than relying on polling.

Caution

Changes here take effect after the KPImailer engine service restarts. Coordinate a listener port or address change with whoever maintains the Qlik Sense alert-signal configuration, or alerts will silently stop arriving until both sides match again.
