Extract files are stored on Tableau Server computers as. It is not saved in logs or, in the case of live connections, in separate files on Tableau Server computers. The repository also includes layout and connection information for the workbooks, but does not have any data such as passwords, actual data from the database or data shown on the view.ĭata displayed in views comes from extract files or databases, and is cached in memory. The repository contains metadata from Tableau Server (for example, usernames, groups, projects, permissions on Tableau Server, extract refresh schedules).
Tableau prep logs archive#
The tsm maintenance ziplogs command allows users to not only generate a zipped archive of log files, but also to include Tableau Server repository data if the -d option is specified. Logging at the default INFO level only gathers safe environment information. This means that if you have any sensitive information in an environment variable, it may be included in a log.
Tableau prep logs full#
Note: When logging at the DEBUG level, full environment information is gathered when Tableau starts. Log files do not contain any sensitive customer data such as passwords, results of the queries, or data shown on the views. Log files could contain some specific data such as names of database servers, as well as their IP addresses and ports, names or IP addresses of Tableau Server computers, and URLs and names of the workbooks and views accessed by users. Tableau Server logs only contain technical information useful for troubleshooting the status of different components, actions taken by different processes, communication attempts, queries to the database (not including results), and timings of requests, for example.

Taken together these log files contain detailed information about internal communication between components of Tableau Server while processing users’ requests or performing automated tasks. Singly these give detailed information on the actions of each process. Every Tableau Server process writes information about what it is doing to its own log file.
