@DalJeanis, according to @rishrai comment, I believe he wants System Logs, not "data contained within".

@rishrai : I found this link https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/logs_loc.htm That shows where you can get various files for the Tableau system.

Awesome! I was looking for the logs mentioned as in the link.

@rishrai - Tableau is a data visualization and analysis tool. It gets the data from elsewhere, although it can "chunk it up" for its own use as part of the process. You are going to need the Tableau person to look at the visualizations you are trying to duplicate or drill down on and identify where the data is actually coming from.

The simplest answer, knowing nothing else about your overall system topology, is that Splunk will happily ingest any CSV or JSON files you want to send to it, and almost every data source (including Tableau) can output CSV files or JSON files or both.

You may need a bit of clarification here. Which data? server data? Web Access data? audit data? The data that Tableau looks at? Which data?

thanks for the response!

Currently Web access data and Audit data. I am want to onboard all data relevant to user activity , access, logon, logoff. How is data stored in tableau? is there a plugin to get the data generated from tableau?
