Current data issue

[MarkTasker]

The data stored in the pg database is 1 hour old and I would like to make this as up to date as possible. Is this an issue at the perfmon level or in the process taking an hour to process the data and store it in the database.

If it's the process is there a way to reduce that time so we can get data sooner?

Hello,

To clarify, is this the data being polled by TabMon?

If you would like data to be polled by TabMon at a higher frequency, you can always adjust the PollInterval in the TabMon config. The PollInterval will look like this:

If this is about the data in Tableau Server's postgres database, that should be up to date as long as the connection is live.

Please let me know if that helps.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,
Thank you for getting back to me. The polling interval is set as follows:

However, the data timestamp is postgres is always 1 hour behind current time. I'd like to figure out why there is a lag between the TabMon process which looks to run every minute and the data being available in the postgres database.

!-- Polling rate, in seconds --
PollInterval value="60"

Could it be due to BST?

It appears to be the calculation:
DATETIME(INT((FLOAT([Timestamp]))*(1440/[Minute Interval]))/(1440/[Minute Interval]))
if you try DATETIME(INT((FLOAT(Now()))) you get the hour difference when comparing to now()
Not sure if I am using the latest version as this could already be fixed.

To get around the lost hour I am just adding it back in to the rounded timestamp equation:
DATETIME(INT((FLOAT([Timestamp])+(1/24))*(1440/[Minute Interval]))/(1440/[Minute Interval]))
