Submission GuidelinesHello all,
This may be a little controversial. As of today, when you buy an Alteryx Server, the basic package covers up to 4 cores :
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Knowledge-Base/How-Alteryx-defines-cores-for-licensing-our-products/ta-p/158030
I have always known that. But these last years, the technology, the world has evolved. Especially the number of cores in a server. As an example, AMD Epyc CPU for server begin at 8 cores :
https://www.amd.com/en/processors/epyc-7002-series
So the idea is to update the number of cores in initial package for 8 or even 16 cores. It would :
-make Alteryx more competitive
-cost only very few money
-end some user frustration
Moreover, Alteryx Server Additional Capacity license should be 4 cores.
Best regards,
Simon
I would like to be able to open a user from the gallery - and see which collection(s) that user is in
If my collection is broken - I cant see users at all
Hey Team,
With 2020.3, the new Groups feature came into light, which is great, but seems like it was only half-thought.
It would have been nicely complemented with some API endpoints that would allow managing the groups' members - add, remove, list members, etc.
Seems like the API on Alteryx is like 100 steps behind and seems like the new developments are not considering adding APIs for the new released features. I feel this is a product roadmap issue.
As an admin, I would like far more ways to automate managing the Server/Gallery than the ones currently provided by Alteryx.
Integration with AD would be nice as well, we use SAML, and would like to have the option to import AD groups that would sync automatically in Alteryx - same way Tableau has those groups that are imported directly from AD.
Thanks,
Alex
Hello, I would like improved user management features and/or training
Allow admins to configure an outage window(s) of a specified amount of time (say 5-6pm every sunday) for conducting admin activities. Specifically this outage window would block any scheduled jobs, drive any manual started jobs to queue, and also issue a popup on the gallery to notify users that it's during an outage window.
As a part of the installation process or Configuration setting for Alteryx Server , can there be an option added to turn on "Subscription API" enabled for ever
I would like the ability to add Groups to a collection as well as individual users. This would make things a lot easier for situations where large sets of users needed to be added to a collection at once, or removed at once.
It used to be possible to create a robust user profile within the gallery, with many additional user details fields available. However all have been taken away leaving only a name and email address as a user profile.
Please bring back those user details as having additional information about the user always beneficial. If internal to the company, sometimes I need to know what department they are from or what office. And if external to the company, I need to know what organization they are from.
Having no additional user information can cause a lot of confusion, especially if any two users share a name since I don't know if it's the same user with a new email, or a different user completely.
Thanks.
We have configured the service account for Alteryx services on workers, controllers and Gallery. Kindly go through the below problem statement and current scenario and help to provide solution.
I will appreciate if we can setup a 30 minutes call and discuss on it.
Purpose/Current Design :
Problem Statement :
As we have added service LAN account in multiple AD groups [ global and local ] it has become member of 440+ groups which has resulted in the approx.. token size to 8421.
Active directory has a limit of having approx.. token size to 10000 (10k) for LAN accounts and after that it will fail to authenticate with AD ; which will result in failure of starting Alteryx services.
Please refer below link to know what exactly issue we are facing and looking solution from Product team[Alteryx].
https://www.jijitechnologies.com/blogs/active-directory-token-bloat
We are looking from the Alteryx team :
We already explored the option you suggested [https://help.alteryx.com/current/server/credentials] but as per our firm’s password policy we cannot save/use/withdraw privilege account passwords.
Because if we go with the suggested option we have to add the particular accounts in Windows server privilege group [ Log on as service, App_Security Logon locally and run batch job].
To meet compliant policy ; Any account which is privilege should be considered as app to app account and it should be integrated with Microsoft’s gMSA or CyberArk’s EPV-AIM solution to be on boarded account in vault. [ No human interaction with account ]
Feel free to reach out to me for any additional clarifications.
The search for replacing a workflow is poor (and I get that it is probably challenging to write on the back end) but as a result even if I type in the exact title of the workflow (aka copy and paste) Alteryx replace can't find it. Not only does this mean I have multiple workflows with the same name running around (loads of fun with lack of version control) but it also makes this entire thing more frustrating every time I update a workflow (as normally this also means the scheduling of said workflow breaks).
It would be awesome if instead of having to search by title for your workflow that you wish to replace with if you could instead use the URL where Alteryx Gallery put the workflow and then there wouldn't be any confusions about which workflow and you wouldn't have to type.
*This is an idea from @cneivam from the Portuguese Community*
Can we make API function available to assign specific worker node while submitting job request using api.
We're looking to use the worker setting that cancels jobs that run over a certain amount of time. However, In testing we noticed when the server kills the job it does not trigger the workflow event for 'after run with errors'. That said, it does trigger the 'after run without errors' event, but there is no detail in the email as to what happened. This behavior seems counter-intuitive. We primarily use 'after run with errors', so our users could potentially have their workflows cancelled and never hear about it.
is it possible to do one of the following:
We're currently running server 2019.1, so please ignore this idea if this issue has been resolved in later releases.
Here is the server setting I am referring to
Have the Alteryx Server send a notification when the license is within a configurable amount of days to being expired via SMTP
Currently we have built-in authentication for Alteryx Server.
In that state, the Default user role of Gallery is set to "Artisan",
If you sign up to create a new user and log in,
It will be registered as "Viewer".
I want the default user to be valid even with the built-in authentication.
Currently the e-mail settings for the server are set up using a wizard and are not available within the admin UI.
Please could you add an explicit section to the Admin UI to allow the admin team to set up approved SMTP settings, allowing this all to be managed in one admin console.
Further: Can you allow the admins to push these settings down to the desktop users. This would allow the admin team to control the SMTP usage and prevent data leakage. It would also reduce complexity for the user since the SMTP settings are all pre-set making eMail tools; and Events easier to set up.
It would be very useful to have a standardized method to set up notifications to the server admins and to the job owner themselves if an alteryx canvas fails (error).
My understanding is that currently the only way to do notifications on failure for every canvas is for every canvas to individually set up events. On a large implementation, this becomes very difficult to manage.
I'm not sure if this is too similar to this server idea
but I'd love to see the ability to add webhooks to Alteryx Server to launch a workflow. I believe that is how Flow (now PowerAutomate) can run an event. I had to spend hours figuring out how to build a "Flow" workflow which would have taken me minutes in Designer. For example, when I receive a new MS Forms Survey submission, I can shape the data and build a sharepoint list, rather than waiting for whatever interval I set in the scheduler.
Currently if there is a password change, I have to download my workflows, update the password in the Tableau connector, and reupload the files.
This would enable groups with a single sign on to ensure scheduled workflows are not interrupted.
Currently the server diagnostics (http://localhost/gallery/admin/#!diagnostics) covers a narrow time window (from what I can see - only the last few hours)
.... and if you attempt to zoom out or pan to see a broader time window - the graph gets smaller, but the data does not grow to fill the remaining space
Please could we request 2 changes:
a) add a time axis on the bottom of this chart so that the user can understand the time dimension
b) Increase the time available for analytics to an arbitrarily broad set of data (which the admin can configure as a server setup parameter - retention period). For us - we'd want to keep at least 3 months of data, and be able to view this analytically.
Thank you
Sean
It would be great if each user could persist their gallery UI sorting/view changes and leave them as default. When I log in I nearly always immediately switch to list view and sort by most recent modified. This means everytime I access a set of workflows there are at least 3 click actions before I can even start working.
