The serverinfo.xml only available when the vizportal is running.Serverinfo has no information about our intents (the service desired state). We don’t know what is desired state: it’s great that the server is stopped, but did we wanted to stop it? Or, maybe it’s running but we already started a stop command.This looks useful, however, it misses a few key points: Then open /admin/serverinfo.xml: It should return something like this: To allow external apps (or yourself) to access systeminfo.xml in an unauthenticated session, add your IP to the whitelist by: tsm configuration set -k _referrer_ips -v It supports both authentication and white-list based access: allowing to retrieve the Server status information from third party tools without implementing any complex API or authentication logic, with a simple HTTP GET call. Historically, the only supported way to get status information from Tableau Server was this so-called serverinfo.xml endpoint. We will check how to authenticate and get information from TSM as well as see TSM’s hidden gem: the passwordless login support.īut before trying to reimplement tsm status from our own code, let’s see an alternative option from pre-TSM times for getting server status.

In this post, I will go thru on a basic use case: getting status information from a Tableau Server cluster, its nodes, and its services. Make configuration and topology changes.Some of the things you can do by this API are: But you can use the TSM API to perform all the functionalities in tsm remotely, invoking simple HTTP endpoints. Usually, TSM API is used mostly from the tsm command-line utility, which is part of the Server installation. Tableau Services Manager’s API is still in alpha status with version 0.0
