About:
Tableau Log Viewer is a specialized desktop application designed to parse and visualize Tableau Server and Desktop log files. It transforms complex, verbose log data into an intuitive, filterable interface, enabling administrators and developers to quickly diagnose issues and monitor system performance. The tool streamlines the troubleshooting process by providing a structured view of events, making it easier to identify errors and understand system behavior.
Key Features:
  • Hierarchical log viewing with event details
  • Advanced filtering and search capabilities
  • Support for multiple log file formats
  • Export functionality for sharing findings
Use Cases:
  • Diagnosing Tableau Server performance bottlenecks and errors
  • Analyzing user activity and query execution patterns
  • Debugging Tableau Desktop workbook publishing issues
Alternatives:
  • Tableau Server Web UI – The built-in web interface offers high-level status but lacks the deep, granular log file inspection and filtering capabilities of the dedicated viewer.
  • Generic Log Parsers (e.g., Logstash) – General-purpose tools require significant configuration to parse Tableau's specific log formats, whereas Tableau Log Viewer is purpose-built and ready to use.
