How to run Powershell script using Tableau for pulling data

Vijay Kumar Oct 8, 2018 4:56 AM

Hi Friends,

Just a quick help.. Like we connect to SQL DB, Oracle DB, etc.,

IT Infrastructure teams used Powershell scripts to generate data on servers.

Is there any possiblility to run Powershell scripts using Tableau to pull data for desiigning dashboards?

Hello Vijay,

I am curious what type of data you are trying to pull from the Tableau designing dashboards? Like usage statistics? I might be able to find some better resources with a better understanding of the desired result.

Tableau offers some insight into the Tableau Server data and the workbooks on it: Administrative Views - Tableau

There is also the ability to create custom admin views: Create Custom Administrative Views - Tableau

Additional information on connecting to the PostgreSQL repository: Collect Data with the Tableau Server Repository - Tableau

I did find some other resources where people are capturing error messages with PowerShell: Tableau-Powershell-Scripts/Tableau-Server-Backup at master · glenrobinson72/Tableau-Powershell-Scripts · GitHub

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Byrne, Patrick
