Question 13

For a Tableau administrative dashboard designed to monitor user engagement, which metric would be most beneficial to include?

A. The disk space used by the Tableau Server

B. The number of views created by users per month

C. The server's uptime and downtime statistics

D. The amount of network traffic to and from the Tableau Server

Correct Answer:B
The number of views created by users per month Including the metric of the number of views created by users per month on an administrative dashboard is effective for monitoring user engagement on Tableau Server. This metric provides valuable insights into how actively users are interacting with and utilizing the server, indicating the level of engagement and adoption of the platform. Option A is incorrect because disk space usage, while important for server maintenance, does not directly measure user engagement. Option C is incorrect as server uptime and downtime statistics, while critical for overall server health monitoring, do not directly reflect user engagement. Option D is incorrect because the amount of network traffic, although indicative of server usage, does not specifically measure user engagement in creating and interacting with views.

Question 14

An organization with a large volume of real-time data needs to integrate this data with Tableau. When is it appropriate to use external services in this scenario?

A. Use external services to store all the real-time data, regardless of its relevance to Tableau

B. Implement external services for real-time data processing and streaming before integrating with Tableau

C. Avoid using external services and rely solely on Tableau Server for real-time data processing

D. External services should only be used for historical data, not for real-time data

Correct Answer:B
Implement external services for real-time data processing and streaming before integrating with Tableau For handling large volumes of real-time data, using external services for initial processing and streaming can be more efficient, allowing Tableau to effectively integrate and visualize the processed data. Option A is incorrect as it’s inefficient to use external services for storing all data, especially if not all of it is relevant for Tableau. Option C is incorrect because relying solely on Tableau Server may not be efficient for large-scale real-time data processing. Option D is incorrect as external services can be valuable for both real-time and historical data, depending on the use case.

Question 15

When troubleshooting Kerberos authentication issues related to SPNs in Tableau Server, what common problem should be investigated first?

A. Checking if the Kerberos tickets are expiring too quickly

B. Verifying that the SPNs are correctly set for the Tableau Server service account

C. Ensuring that the network firewall allows Kerberos traffic to pass through

D. Confirming that all users have Kerberos enabled on their client machines

Correct Answer:B
Verifying that the SPNs are correctly set for the Tableau Server service account A common issue in Kerberos authentication related to SPNs is incorrect or missing SPN configura-tion for the Tableau Server service account. The first step in troubleshooting should be to verify that the SPNs are correctly set and associated with the service account running Tableau Server. Incorrect SPN settings can prevent Kerberos from authenticating the server properly. Option A is incorrect because while ticket expiration is a factor in Kerberos, it is less likely to be the primary issue com-pared to incorrect SPN settings. Option C is incorrect as firewall settings, while important, are not the first aspect to check when SPN-related Kerberos issues are suspected. Option D is incorrect be-cause the client machines having Kerberos enabled is less likely to be the root cause of SPN-related issues in Tableau Server.

Question 16

When configuring Mutual SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for Tableau Server, what is an essential requirement to establish a secure connection?

A. Enabling port forwarding on the Tableau Server for all SSL traffic

B. Requiring all users to have administrative privileges on their devices

C. Installing a trusted certificate on both the client's and server's sides

D. Configuring the Tableau Server to use a specific set of cipher suites

Correct Answer:C
Installing a trusted certificate on both the client’s and server’s sides For Mutual SSL to function correctly, it is essential to install a trusted certificate on both the client and server sides. This ensures that both parties can authenticate each other, establishing a secure and verified connection. Mutual SSL relies on this two-way authentication process for enhanced security. Option A is incorrect because port forwarding is not a standard requirement for Mutual SSL configuration. Option B is incorrect as requiring administrative privileges on user devices is unrelated to Mutual SSL setup. Option D is incorrect because while configuring cipher suites is part of SSL configuration, it is not the primary requirement for Mutual SSL.

Question 17

You are configuring Tableau Server on a Linux system and find that the server is not accessible from client machines. What should be your initial step to resolve this issue?

A. Increasing the bandwidth allocation to the Linux server

B. Checking the DNS settings and ensuring the Linux server is correctly resolving hostnames

C. Assigning a static IP address to each client machine

D. Changing the network mode on the Linux server from public to private

Correct Answer:B
Checking the DNS settings and ensuring the Linux server is correctly resolving hostnames When Tableau Server on a Linux system is not accessible from client machines, the initial step should be to check the DNS settings. Ensuring that the Linux server can correctly resolve host-names is important for network accessibility. Incorrect DNS settings or issues with hostname resolution can prevent clients from accessing the server. Option A is incorrect because bandwidth allocation is typically not related to issues of server accessibility in a local network setting. Option C is incorrect as assigning static IP addresses to client machines does not address the accessibility of the server itself. Option D is incorrect because changing the network mode from public to private on the Linux server does not directly address accessibility or DNS resolution issues.

Question 18

A company is transitioning from an on-premises Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud. Which strategyshould be prioritized to ensure a smooth migration?

A. Migrate all data and dashboards at once to minimize the transition period

B. Perform a thorough audit of current dashboards and data sources for compatibility with Tableau Cloud

C. Prioritize the migration of the least used dashboards to test the Tableau Cloud environment

D. Discontinue the use of Tableau Server immediately to force a quick transition

Correct Answer:B
Perform a thorough audit of current dashboards and data sources for compatibility with Tableau Cloud Conducting an audit of dashboards and data sources ensures compatibility with Tableau Cloud, which is crucial for a smooth migration without data loss or functionality issues. Option A is incorrect because migrating everything at once can overwhelm the system and lead to significant disruptions. Option C is incorrect as prioritizing the least used dashboards might not address the migration challenges of more critical dashboards and data. Option D is incorrect be-cause discontinuing Tableau Server immediately can disrupt business operations and does not allow for a phased and controlled transition.
