Cool!  I like this   Just needs the instructions to be a little more detailed.

Okay, take Andrew's Tableau_status.css file and save it in a directory.  For our example we'll use C:\temp.

Now open a web browser and to go your Server Admin panel

Replace the word "status" with "systeminfo", hit the Enter key, and you'll see something similar to this:

Save the file to your directory (for our example remember that we're using C:\temp):

So in our C:\temp directory we have the .css file AND the .xml file:

Using a text editor (I recommend Notepad++) open your systeminfo.xml file and insert

<?xml-stylesheet href="tableau_status.css"?>

after the

<?xml version=...> tag:

Save the .xml file and you're done!

Now open the .xml file in a web browser to view the results:

The one big issue with this is that what we did is a manual process and is only accurate at the time the .xml file was generated   So to make this more helpful you, dear reader, will need to create a process to get the .xml file, and add the style sheet xml tag (the .css bit).

I created a process to email the Server admin the status of their Server if it is anything other than OK:

Tableau Server Status Monitor

This may be helpful to someone wanting to make the above less of a manual process.

I'm not a web developer but could you not just replace everything after the <?xml-stylesheet  line with an embedded link to the server status URL? Then it would mean you could open your custom URL with one click to a link and no page saving.

For anybody interested in this that wants to make it a little more automated, you can do a tabcmd get http://myserver/admin/systeminfo.xml to download the file regularly.
