Qlik RepMeta is a self-service internal tool for Qlik CSEs, Solution Architects and PS to quickly understand a customer’s Qlik Replicate footprint.
You upload Replicate Repository JSONs, QEM TSV metrics, and (optionally) a Replicate task log. RepMeta:
- Normalizes everything into PostgreSQL
- Exposes a React UI to browse counts, trends and inventory
- Generates a Qlik-branded Customer Technical Overview (.docx) that you can drop straight into a customer meeting
⚠️ RepMeta is not an official Qlik product – it’s a field tool to speed up platform reviews, scoping conversations and quarterly health checks.
From a handful of artifacts, RepMeta builds:
- Inventory view
- Servers, tasks, endpoints and endpoint families
- Source/target mix across the environment
- Operational posture
- Task counts by status
- QEM-derived throughput and latency metrics (where available)
- License vs usage
- How licensed endpoint families compare to what the customer is actually using
- Data-driven insights
- Tasks with null targets or “dangling” configurations
- Duplicate endpoint configurations worth consolidating
- Source × Target coverage matrix to spot gaps and common patterns
- Customer-ready document
- Single click export of a Customer Technical Overview branded with Qlik logo and banner
