Tableau Server

Use the Elasticsearch JDBC driver and dedicated Elasticsearch Tableau Connector to access Elasticsearch data from Tableau Server.

Elastic does not endorse, promote or provide support for this application; for native Elasticsearch integration in this product, please reach out to its vendor.

Prerequisites

• Tableau Server 2019.4 or later
• Elasticsearch SQL JDBC driver
• Elasticsearch Connector for Tableau

Load data

First, move or download the JDBC driver to the Tableau Server drivers directory:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\Tableau\Drivers
• Mac: /Users/[user]/Library/Tableau/Drivers

Move the Elasticsearch Connector for Tableau to the Tableau Server connectors directory. To find the location of this directory, refer to Tableau Server documentation or use the TSM command line interface.

Restart Tableau Server.

To load data into a workbook, add a New Data Source from the Data menu or using the icon. In the Connectors tab of the Connect to Data modal, select Elasticsearch by Elastic.

Enter the information for your Elasticsearch instance, and click Sign In.

In the main window, select your Elasticsearch instance as the Database. Then select a table to load.

Finally, generate a report.
