What's the infomraiton we can get from VizQL Logs

It helps in Monitoring end-user experiences and troubleshooting specific issues with Tableau views and queries.

Questions that can be answered by VizQL logs include:

• How long it takes for your workbooks to load

• How many people are looking at a particular view

• How long queries are taking to load

• If your view is hitting the cache 

                          
Tableau’s VizQL logs store events related to user interactions with Tableau Views and executed queries. VizQL logs can be found at:

%ProgramFiles%\Tableau\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\vizqlserver\Logs

VizQL logs are structured in JSON format, making them easy to search and visualize using a log management solution.

Following are the keys found in a standard VizQL log:

“ts”: the timestamp for this record “sess”: the session id
“pid”: the process id for this record “site”: the site name for this record
“tid”: the thread id for this record “user”: the user name
“sev”: the severity “k”: the type (“key”) of the record 
“req”: the http request id
