Hi All,
My organization is about to upgrade to 10.5 and I'm wanting to cleanup each of our sites. We have over 1000 views and over 200 data sources with publishers on various teams, some of which have forgotten about upkeep or have moved on. There are live direct connection data sources and extracts. How can I find out which views/data sources have expired credentials? I realize I could find which extracts are failing and then have to tie them back to a workbook, but how can I check the ones that are live connections?
Sending an email to the publishers without a list of offending views/sources doesn't seem ideal as I won't be able to monitor cleanup progress easily at this scale and it wouldn't be easily repeatable.
Does anyone have a workbook or view they would kindly share using the Postgres DB?
We are currently using Tableau Server 10.0.
Thanks,
Wes
Hello Wes,
The ability to mass test credentials for data sources on Tableau Server is not yet built into the product but I see that this could be a very useful feature for such cases as what you have outlined above.
Please submit an Idea to the Ideas section of the forum : Ideas
There are several dashboards as well as views that can be used to review different aspects of the data sources such as traffic to the data source or the amount space being used for the extracted data sources.
+ Pre-built Administrative Views
Another option for more customized views, I would connect to the internal Postgre SQL db, then create a custom view reviewing the desired information.
+ Collect Data with the Tableau Server Repository
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Byrne, Patrick
