- If you have a live connection to the data source, check the log.txt and tabprotosrv.txt files.

- The tabprotosrv.txt file often shows detailed information about queries.
In Tableau Server:
- Generate a snapshot of Server logs.
- Unzip the archive logs.zip file.
- Navigate to the vizqlserver folder.
- Search for lines containing begin-query in the .txt files.
