Error Code: 4B810EA5 - Tableau could not connect to the data source

Working with Data Connectors & Integrations
1

Hi All,

I am trying to connect, Tableau to MongoDB Atlas using BI connector. I have enabled MongoDB BI connector in MongoDB Atlas (M10 cluster). I have installed the ODBC driver and went ahead with my System DSN setup.

Post that I have established a data connectivity using ODBC data sources using the DSN created in my previous step.

The connection failed with the below error message:

“Bad Connection: Tableau could not connect to the data source.
Note that you might need to make local configuration changes to resolve the error.

Error Code: 4B810EA5

MongoDB BI Connector versions older than 4.1.1 are not supported by this version of Tableau.”

Could someone help and let me know the resolution to solve this issue.

Thanks.

Hi @Jay_Thattai,

What are your versions of:

  • MongoDB ODBC Driver
  • MongoDB Connector for BI
  • Tableau

I believe the error message you are encountering should only be displayed by a very outdated version of the BI Connector. The 4.1.1 version in this context is referring to a minimum expected version of the MySQL wire protocol being used.

If you are not already using the latest versions of the MongoDB ODBC Driver & BI Connector, please try again after updating software versions.
