Tableau

Euno integrates with Tableau, ingesting its metadata to enhance data observability and support proactive measures such as shift-left practices. By providing valuable insights into the data structure and usage patterns within your Tableau environment, Euno enables more informed decision-making and efficient data management.

Tableau Requirements

To ingest metadata from Tableau, you will need:

  1. Tableau Server Version 2021.1.10 and newer.

  2. Tableau Metadata API (if already enabled please skip to 3):

    1. Ensure the Tableau Metadata API is enabled.

    2. This is enabled by default on Tableau Cloud.

    3. For Tableau Server, follow this guide by Tableau.

  3. Tableau Credentials: Euno authenticates as a Tableau individual user. The Euno user would require a Personal Access Token with the Site Administrator Explorer role or higher - an already existing user with same or higher permissions can be used.
