Upgrade Power Tools for Server to Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool
Power Tools Server has been rebranded to Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool. The installer has been changed to reflect this rebranding and new ownership. This means the product will install side-by-side with the legacy InterWorks product instead of upgrading it in place.
The 2019.3 version of Power Tools Server (now named the Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool) requires a license key. For information about activating the license key, see Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool Legacy License Key Activation.

-
Stop all installed InterWorks agents.
-
Wait for the data processing to complete.

Postgres SQL Update Instructions:
- Locate the postgres pg_hba.config file. It will be at <PTS installation directory>\data\postgresql\pg_hba.config.
