Note: The Splunk connector has been retired. In place of this connector, we recommend you use the Splunk Connector on the Tableau Exchange(Link opens in a new window). Follow the instructions on the Exchange page to connect using the Splunk connector.

Note: The Splunk ODBC connector is compatible with Splunk Enterprise 6.

However, you can create a cross-database join between Splunk data and data from different databases (or files) with one exception. After adding a new connection to the Tableau data source, you must double-click the table in the left pane to add it to the canvas. You cannot drag the table from the left pane to the canvas as you normally would when creating a cross-database join. For more information about cross-database joins, see Join Your Data.

Note: Creating a cross-database join between Splunk tables is not supported. A cross-database join between Splunk tables causes all the connections in the Tableau data source to disappear except for the last Splunk connection.
