I am trying to connect to Elasticsearch from Tableau Desktop. I am using Tableau Desktop 2021.x, Tableau Desktop 2022.x versions. My Elastic search version is 7.11.2.

I have followed everything mentioned in

> **[Download Tableau Connector for Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/tableau-connector)**
>
> Download the Tableau Connector for Elasticsearch to connect Tableau Desktop of Tableau Server to Elasticsearch.

But It is not working.

I tried various versions of elasticserach JDBC clients and .taco files. But none of them are working.  
It is just showing blank without any tables. as shown in the image.

I even tried connecting via ODBC. But it is also a throwing issue

Someone told me to set xpack.security.enabled = false, then it will work. I tried the same, but it is also not working.

Please someone help to connect to Elasticsearch from Tableau.

By the way I am using Tableau Online, not a Tableau onprem server.

Thank you

If you look at the [subscriptions page](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) you can see that the JDBC, ODBC and Tableau connector requires a Platinum license or higher and is not available with the free Basic license, which aligns with the error message for the ODBC driver.
