This simple application shows notifications in the Apple Notification Center whenever Tableau runs a query against an external data source. If you wish to see how Tableau gets the data you are using in a worksheet and don't want to deal with reading through JSON logs, tableau_notify is for you.

To use the notifier, you simply do:

gem install tableau_notify
tableau-notify

This will show the queries in the console, but will also display desktop notifications. If you click on the desktop notification, your default text editor for files with the sql extension will open the full query.

PRs are welcome.
