Tableau Plugin

The Coralogix JDBC driver allows you to investigate your log data with your favorite database tool using SQL queries.

JDBC, which stands for Java Database Connectivity, is a common standard for database drivers, and many popular querying tools support it. With the Coralogix JDBC driver, you can quickly get started on performing SQL queries against the data already stored in your Coralogix account.

This tutorial provides instructions on using the Coralogix JDBC driver with Tableau.

Getting Started

1

Place the .jar files in the folder for your operating system. Create a folder if it doesn't exist already.

OS	Path
Windows	C:\Program Files\Tableau\Drivers
Mac	~/Library/Tableau/Drivers
Linux	/opt/tableau/tableau_driver/jdbc

2

Copy the coralogix.tdc file to ~/Documents/My Tableau Repository/Datasources. For more details, view the Tableau documentation here.

3

Create a file coralogix.properties and add an entry with your apiKey. To use this API you need to create a personal or team API key. It’s recommended to use permission presets, as they are automatically updated with all relevant permissions. Alternatively, you can manually add individual permissions.

On the main screen in To a Server section, select Other Databases (JDBC).
Set URL to [table id=106 /].
Set Dialect to MySQL and leave the Username and Password blank. Click on Browse next Properties file and choose coralogix.properties you created.
Click on Sign In.

The Coralogix SQL support is based on the OpenDistro SQL interface. Refer to its documentation for further references on supported SQL features.
