Option 2: Review the Logs
In Tableau Desktop:

- By default, the My Tableau Repository can be found inside the My Documents folder on Windows or the Documents folder on a Mac.
- If you have a live connection to the data source, check the log.txt and tabprotosrv.txt files.
- If you are using an extract, check the hyperd.log (Tableau 10.5 and newer versions) or tdeserver.txt (Tableau 10.4 and older versions) file.
- 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.
