# Tableau Server Log Files

Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool agents monitor the Tableau log files in near real time and send log messages to the RMT Server for processing and reporting.

Below is a list of the specific Tableau log files that are monitored.

All directory paths are relative to the Tableau Server data directory. By default, this is located at: `/var/opt/tableau/tabrmt/data/tabsvc`

| Directory | File Name |
| --- | --- |
| `logs\backgrounder` | `backgrounder-*.log` |
| `logs\httpd` | `*.log` |
| `logs\vizportal` | `vizportal-*.log` |
| `logs\dataserver` | `dataserver_*.txt` |
| `logs\vizqlserver` | `vizqlserver_*.txt` |
