View Auditing Data in Tableau Next
Audit data is retained for the last 180 days. Collect and store the AnalyticsUserActivityEvent object to create user interaction logs and long term records of Tableau Next usage.
These steps are an overview of how to make the auditing data available in Tableau Next.
- In Data 360, connect the AnalyticsUserActivityEvent object.
- Map the AnalyticsUserActivityEvent object data to DLO and DMO objects.
- In Tableau Next, open your DMO and create a semantic model.
- Use the semantic model as the basis for creating metrics, visualizations, and dashboards where you can view, filter, and query the audit data for investigations, analytics, compliance, and other requirements.
