Tableau offers an intuitive way to create insightful dashboards by linking it to your MariaDB database.

To get started with Tableau:

  1. Launch Tableau and initiate a new connection.
  2. Choose MariaDB as your database type.
  3. Provide the necessary details:
    • Host server
    • Username
    • Password
    • Port
  4. Test the connection to ensure it is working.

By default, the connection is made using SSL. If you encounter the SSL connection error: unknown error number, navigate to the MariaDB service configuration in the Stackhero dashboard and enable the "Support old TLS version" option.
