Enable Couchbase Analytics Service

To get started with the Couchbase Tableau connector, set up the Couchbase Analytics Service on Couchbase Server and add the Couchbase Tableau connector to Tableau Desktop.

You can enable the Analytics Service either on an existing cluster or a new cluster.

Enable Analytics Service on an Existing Cluster

  6. In Services, select Data and Analytics. Clear all other services.

  7. Click Add Server. The new node appears in the Servers list.

  8. Next, click Rebalance to rebalance the cluster.
