The description for Event ID 4096 from source Tableau Server (vizportal) cannot be found


I have noticed below Tableau Error messages in event Viewer. You might see similar error for other processes too.

The description for Event ID 4096 from source Tableau Server (vizportal) cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

The description for Event ID 4096 from source Tableau Server (Backgroundr) cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

As per Tableau when you receive these errors, check the status by following below steps.

Step1 : tabadmin status –v
Step2: Check Tableau Server Administrative Views to verify that Tableau server is behaving as expected.

If all the processes are running as expected, then the error messages can be ignored.
