This is the release of Logshark v3.0, a command line utility that you can run against Tableau Server or Tableau Desktop logs to generate a set of workbooks that provide insights into system performance, content usage, and error conditions.

Logshark 3.0 includes numerous fixes and improvements made since the previous release, but the most notable changes are:

  • Support for log sets generated by new versions of Tableau Server up to 2018.2.
  • Run outputs are now saved as hyper extracts instead of PostgreSQL. Not only Logshark no longer needs a dedicated Postgres database, it also runs significantly faster. The results of the Logshark run are now saved as hyper extracts embedded with the workbook (twbx), which enables the vizzes to load much faster.
  • Fixed a number of issues reported both internally and via GitHub.
  • Included optional silent Replayer plugin. Instructions and installation guide can be found on Tableau Community.

If you are a new Logshark user and want information about what Logshark is and how to use it, please see the README file and the installation & user guide.

If you are an existing Logshark user upgrading from Logshark v2.1, recommended steps to upgrade are:

  • Take a backup of Config\Logshark.config file, as it is replaced by upgrade (also Log.config if you made any changes to it)
  • Download and run the v3.0 installer to update your existing Logshark installation in-place.
  • Merge changes from original config file into the new one (don't overwrite the file as there are multiple changes in the structure of the file)

NOTE: Please note that you only need hyperd.exe and hyperd_sse2.exe if you want to build Logshark from code on your own machine.

This software is supplied AS-IS as an open-source community-supported tool under the MIT license. Any bugs or feature requests should be directed to the Logshark Git Issues tracker.
