Explainer

Tableau Server has built-in administrative views that help you monitor different types of server or site activity. They are part of a Tableau workbook embedded in the Status page. Your role decides which views you can open: site administrators see their site, server administrators can see the whole server, and some views are for server administrators only.
Core information
  • To open the administrative views, click Status. The Status page contains an embedded Tableau workbook made up of these views.
More details and nuances
  • Beginning with version 2023.1.0, you must install the PostgreSQL driver to use the built-in administrative views. If you upgrade in place, your existing driver keeps working, but if you upgrade by installing a fresh instance of Tableau Server, you need to download the driver.
