Upgrading Tableau
When upgrading a Tableau Server installation that is monitored by Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool, there are a few additional steps that need to be followed.
Before upgrading Tableau, you’ll want to make sure that the version of Resource Monitoring Tool you have installed supports the version of Tableau that you are upgrading to.
The quickest way to check is to log in to the Resource Monitoring Tool web interface and navigate to the Admin | Environments screen. Edit the environment you are upgrading and check the Tableau Version drop down for the version you are upgrading to.
Resource Monitoring Tool agents should be stopped while you upgrade Tableau Server. Follow these steps on each machine in your Tableau Server cluster:
Run the following command as the tabrmt-master
user:
sudo su --login tabrmt-master
rmtadmin stop --agent
Follow the normal process for upgrading Tableau Server. This process is outlined in the Tableau Server documentation.
- Log in to the Resource Monitoring Tool web interface.
- Go to Admin | Environments
- Edit the environment you upgraded.

After the upgrade is complete you are ready to restart the Resource Monitoring Tool agents. Follow these steps on each machine in your Tableau Server cluster:
Run the following command as the tabrmt-master
user:
sudo su --login tabrmt-master
rmtadmin restart --agent
