Splunk ODBC connector with Tableau - odbc

I am connecting my tableau to Splunk through the ODBC connector.
So, Splunk data are pulled into Tableau where I create the dashboard and host it in Tableau server.
But, I want to know behind the scene where does Splunk dumb data so that Tableau is able to utilize it? I heard it's in the Tableau data engine, but not sure if it's remote or local.

connecting shiny webapp to oracle database

I am building a shiny web app with r studio.
Now I want data from my companys oracle sql server on it.
On my computer, I can easily establish a connection via odbc, because I have the driver on my computer. With code like this:
con <- dbConnect(odbc::odbc(), "name", UID="uid", PWD= "pwd")
Now, is this connection possible when uploaded to shinyapps.io?
Also, with this code, I can only connect inside our companys vpn-network. How do I establish a connection from outside? I tried adding host and port, but that does not work.
Thanks a lot :)

how to troubleshoot "Communications link failure" error with Cloud Data Fusion

I have two GCP projects. A testing environment, built from scratch and a production environment with an already existing Cloud SQL for MySQL instance. My goal is to set a replication pipeline with Data Fusion to replicate some MySQL table.
On the testing environment I'm able to connect data fusion to MySQL. It is not working on the production environment. I have the following error:
Communications link failure The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.
This error message is pretty mysterious to me. The two environment are setup exactly the same way as far as I can see so I don't understand where is this error coming from. What can I do to better understand what's behind this error?
my setup is one Cloud SQL for MySQL instance on Private IP, on VM with proxy SQL, one Private Cloud fusion instance.

Connectivity error while connecting from "Aginity workbench for Redshift" tool to AWS Redshift cluster

I am trying to connect to a redshift cluster using aginity tool but see this below error.
Error-message
I am able to connect to other cluster within the same aws account. The cluster to which I am able to connect is in "us-east-1" region. The cluster to which I am not able to connect is in "us-west-2" region. That is the only difference. All other parameters/configurations are same.
I verified inbound rules in security group, ssl-mode in redshift cluster parameter group and if redshift role was attached to the cluster. They are fine.
I tried googling the error message but it didn't help. I am stuck with this since a day. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Typically, 08S01 is a network communications error. You've confirmed that the AWS side is properly configured, but do you have an on-prem firewall that could be causing an issue? One way you can test network connectivity is telneting to the instance port to confirm that it's reachable.
Have you tried using Aginity Pro, which uses the Redshift JDBC driver. One thing that's nice is you can copy the JDBC connection screen to the cli and isolate that the issue isn't with with application.

Tableau Server Error connecting to ODBC driver

I can able to connect/fetch data from Tableau Desktop but in tableau server it is throwing below error with datasource, Datasource is build on BI ODBC driver. Access permission are assign granted to root folder Oracle_HOME.
Based on the error, it seems the the driver is not properly installed. Try downloading the Oracle driver from tableau drivers page. If its installed correctly please cross check on the configurations you have provided. If you are using the ODBC driver, have you created the DSN properly. The DSN needs to be configured properly with the server name and authorisations and once this is done you can use this DSN in tableau.
Once you have installed the driver properly
Click Connect to Data.
On the Connect page, click Other Databases (ODBC).
In the DSN drop-down list, select the name that you gave to your Oracle BI Server ODBC connection, and then click Connect.
Below is the link on how to connect with the BI Connector

By Default, tableau server pre-populates “Server Run As user” account to Network Service account (NT AUTHRITY\NetworkService). And this account does not have full permission.
