LogShark v4.2.1
This maintenance release contains the following changes:
Highlights
- TabadminController plugin (a.k.a TSM plugin). This new plugin extracts information about Tableau Server admin activities (i.e. start, stop, backup, etc.) for servers managed by TSM. Detailed documentation is coming soon!
- ClusterController plugin now parses and visualizes
DiskSpaceMonitor
events. - When publishing a large workbook to the Tableau Server, sometimes it can take a while to generate thumbnails. LogShark now has a separate setting for publishing timeout. It also handles and reports publishing timeouts differently, as in most cases such timeouts do not mean that the publishing process failed.
- LogShark now has an ability to add a configurable footer to the description of the project it creates on Tableau Server. Footer text can either be provided as command line
--ts-project-description-footer
parameter or specified in the config.
Maintenance
- Config plugin: Server Topology information was not parsed correctly for 2020.3+. Issue is fixed and we also added a few more processes to Server Topology screen.
- ResourceManager plugin: disk space usage total numbers were reported incorrectly.
- DataServer plugin: certain JSON lines in data server logs were causing the LogShark run to fail.
- Hyper plugin: Some large numeric values in logs were causing the LogShark run to fail.
- Fixed typos and clarified some comments in the Art and Hyper workbooks.
- Replayer plugin: Two more commands added to skip list.
Docker and macOS
We added instructions on how to do build and run LogShark using Docker to the README file. This should allow to easily run LogShark on any OS, including macOS Catalina!
