tableau-status-exporter

Simple Prometheus exporter for monitoring the status of Tableau Server processes.

Please note: Tested only with Tableau Server 2018.2 running on a single machine.

What it does

Reads and parses the /admin/systeminfo.xml page and exports the number of processes with Active, Busy, Passive, Unlicensed, Down and Unknown status for each process group.

Using the exporter

  1. Clone the project
  2. Create config file based on config.yml.template. Configs:
    • tableau_user and tableau_password: a Tableau Server user with administrative privileges
    • api_version: REST API version for the Tableau Server version. See https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/REST/rest_api_concepts_versions.htm
    • server_host: Tableau Server hostname, starting with http(s)://
    • site: The Tableau site to use (if empty, Default site is used)
    • exporter_port: Which port to use for the exporter's webserver
    • log_path (optional): File to output logs to (if missing or empty, logs go to stdout)
  3. Install with pip install <path_to_project>. Dependencies:
    • pyyaml: YAML config processing
    • requests: Accessing the Tableau Server REST API (for login) and the systeminfo.xml page
    • prometheus_client: Prometheus python client API
    • twisted: Webserver
  4. Start the exporter with python <path_to_project>/executable/main.py --config-file <path_to_config_yml>
  5. Go to <hostname_of_exporter>:<exporter_port>/metrics to see the metrics.
