I have 2 instances of Tableau Bridge running as a container in Kubernetes. Sporadically these instances stop to work but the ontainer itself is still in running state and I just get the information via email that jobs did not run correctly.
And in the portal under Bridges I see that instances are not up anymore.
But I didn't find an API so far that allows me to get this information which might allow me to create some wrappers restarting the affected bridge instance.
And the second (better) option would be to have som eliveness endpoint in the bridge container which I could monitor standardwise via Kubernetes.
Is such an endpoint available in this huge Tableau Bridge container or any way to check health of a running container?

Hi, you may use the Platform Data API (Activity Log)
https://www.salesforce.com/plus/experience/tableau_conference_2026/series/learning_at_tableau_conference_2026/episode/episode-s1e14Take into account that if you don't have Tableau Enterprise or a better licensing (Tableau Plus, Tableau Bundle) then this won't work for you. Why? The latency of the info is daily when using the Tableau defaul licensing:
