need step by step process to implement Vizalerts

ravindra babu Feb 4, 2019 1:48 AM

Hi All,

I am a Tableau admin and we are using 10.4 server version in all 3 environments.

My client requirement:

Alert users as soon as extracts complete, and by extension when reports are ready to be viewed (Currently there is no system for when an extract completes, only when it fails)
Alerts for when an extract is taking longer than normal (based on a design threshold), which would help us keep track of problematic reports.
Alerts to owners for when a dashboard has not been viewed for a set period of time.

i Read this blog https://community.tableau.com/thread/191632 . .

I want test it on my non-prod server first to get the required out put.

can any one please help me out of this with Step-by-step process to full fill above requirements. ASAP.

Thanks,

Raveendra

You can use this to help with the above need: Who has seen this view? Workbook and View hits report-v2.

Example: Email users whose extracts fail to refresh -- you'd just need to switch the condition from failed to succeeded.

Those fields are unimportant for your first goal of alerting users when an extract refreshes successfully. I would check the Extract Failure Alert sheet and compare the items listed there to your admin view and ensure that it shows the same failures. Then follow the rest of the steps in the link.

I'm sorry ravindra, I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you expound on the problem you're trying to solve, please?
