TabMon v1.1

This is an updated release of TabMon, a performance monitoring service for Tableau Server. If you are upgrading from an existing TabMon installation, please see the "Upgrading" section of the user guide before installing.

For more information about what TabMon is and how to use it, see the README file and the user guide.

Primary changes in v1.1:

• Added three new features to help users manage their TabMon data volume:
  1. Added the ability to automatically purge records older than a configurable number of days
  2. Added configurable automatic index generation
  3. New "condensed" data model yields around 50% less records than before
• The tool can now support sampling the new style of Tableau JMX counters introduced in 9.3 & 10.0 via a new "TableauInstrumentation" counter type. We've only just scratched the surface of the data accessible here -- feel free to jump in and experiment!
• Updated the user guide to include upgrade steps as well as some additional FAQ/troubleshooting tips.
• Updated the sample workbooks. These workbooks are now bundled within the application.
• Contains fixes for all current reported issues.
