## Prerequisites

- [Tableau Server](https://www.tableau.com/products/server) 2019.4 or later
- Elasticsearch SQL [JDBC driver](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/query-languages/sql/sql-jdbc)
- [Elasticsearch Connector for Tableau](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/tableau-connector)


## Load data

First, move or download the JDBC driver to the Tableau Server drivers directory:
- Windows: `C:\Program Files\Tableau\Drivers`
- Mac: `/Users/[user]/Library/Tableau/Drivers`

Move the Elasticsearch Connector for Tableau to the Tableau Server connectors directory. To find the location of this directory, refer to Tableau Server documentation or use the TSM command line interface.
Restart Tableau Server.
To load data into a workbook, add a **New Data Source** from the **Data** menu or using the icon. In the **Connectors** tab of the **Connect to Data** modal, select **Elasticsearch by Elastic**.
