Which TSM process monitors the coordination service for configuration changes?

The correct answer focuses on the Administration/TSM Agent as the process responsible for monitoring the coordination service for configuration changes in a Tableau Server environment.

The TSM (Tableau Services Manager) Agent is a crucial component that plays a vital role in monitoring the various services and processes running on Tableau Server. Specifically, it is tasked with overseeing the coordination service, which is essential for managing configuration changes effectively. The coordination service ensures that all the configuration settings are up-to-date and consistent across the different Tableau Server processes.

In a Tableau Server architecture, rapid and efficient configuration management is imperative, especially in environments where changes to server settings or service configurations are frequent. The Administration/TSM Agent provides the necessary oversight to ensure that any updates to configurations are propagated correctly across the services, helping maintain system stability and performance.

The other choices do not directly relate to the monitoring of the coordination service for configuration changes. The Administration/TSM Controller, for example, is focused on higher-level control and management tasks, while the Repository Service is primarily responsible for managing and storing metadata and user information. The SAML Service deals with authentication processes and does not pertain to monitoring configuration changes. This delineation of responsibilities within Tableau Server highlights why the Administration/TSM Agent is
