SAS VA 7.1 Built In Administration Reporting 1

SAS VA 7.1 Built In Administration Reporting

SAS VA 7.1 provides a predefined audit report for administrators

The collection and loading of the data for the report must be manually enabled

Set property va.AuditingEnabled = true for Visual Analytics ConfigurationSchedule autoload for scheduling user.

Data is refreshed in memory every 15 minutes by default

SAS Environment Manager 2.4SAS Environment Manager 2.4

SAS Environment Manager was introduced with SAS 9.4

Based on VMwares’s vFabric Hyperic monitoring framework complemented with technology provided by SAS

It is a complete, SAS-aware, out-of-the-box monitoring solution

Monitoring and Management of SAS ResourcesCollection and Reporting of metrics for SAS ResourcesMonitoring of EventsCustomisable AlertsEscalation processes for alertsSAS EM Data Mart for low level analysis and forensics analysis (BI on BI)

SAS Environment Manager is installed and configured during installation


SAS Environment Manager 2.4 - ResourcesSAS Environment Manager 2.4

SAS EM works on 3 resource levels

Platforms (Physical or Virtual machines)Servers (SAS Servers, DB Servers, Web Application Servers)

Services (Web Application in Web Application Servers, etc.)

Users can navigate the resources to get information such as

? How many users are currently connected? What is the CPU usage trend for a platform? What is the percentage of usage of the SAS Work area? What is the I/O rate for a given file system? What is the trend of memory usage? Other...

There is a wealth of predefined events and alerts, it is also possible to define customized events and alerts to suit customer’s specific needs.

SAS EM also provides an interface for managing SAS Metadata

Users, groups and rolesGroups and roles membershipsLogins and internal accounts

The interface is not meant to replace SAS Management Console for these tasks, but it can be an alternative and provides enhanced user administration features

SAS EM 2.4 Service Management Architecture “SAS Environment Manager Service Management Architecture provides functions and capabilities

that enable SAS Environment Manager to fit into a service-oriented architecture (SOA)”

The following components form the SM Architecture and can be enabled

SAS EM Data Mart - Stores monitored data

Audit, Performance and Measurement (APM) ETL - Collects information from SAS logs and stores it in the SAS EM Data Mart

Agent-Collected Metrics (ACM) ETL - Collects information from the EM Database and stores it in the SAS EM Data Mart

Report Center - Extensive collection of SAS Stored Processes that report against the SAS EM Data Mart

Solution Kit Framework - Allows SAS Solutions to extend the capabilities of SAS EM by providing solution specific monitoring and metrics

SAS VA Data Feed - Allows for automatic copy of some EM DM tables to the VA Admin drop zone for auto-load in memory

SAS EM 2.4 Service Management Architecture


SAS EM 2.4 SM Architecture EnablementSAS EM Extended Monitoring enablement is a manual process, it provides

Automated SAS EM Resource configuration

Optimized Alerts for operational issues in a SAS Environment

Defined resource groups

Event exporting and importing

Monitoring of availability and responsiveness of SAS Web Applications

SAS EM Data Mart initialization

Report Center processes and reports

APM, ACM and Solution Kits ETL and VA Data Feed are optionally enabled in separate steps but required Extended Monitoring

SAS EM 2.4 SM Architecture Enablement –Report Center



Report Center provides many “ready to go” reports organized by:

o Dymanics Reportso Datamarto Metadata Inventoro KITSo LASRo SASJobso Nightly Reportso ACM Reportso APM Reportso Audit Reports (Log Forensic)o EMI SAS Job ETL Reportso Event and Availability Reportso Sample Galleryo Ad Hoc Reporting

SAS EM 2.4 SMA Integration with SAS VA

SAS EM 2.4 SMA Integration with SAS VA

After a successful run of the APM, ACM and Kits ETL processes, selected Environment Manager Data Mart tables are copied to the VA Admin drop zone for auto-load in memory (EVDMLA)




Keinavo Cloud Services include setup and ongoing management activities related to the SAS EM Architecture in every environment, SMP or MMP without limits to the number of servers used.

Inclusion of “SAS EM Data Mart enhanced by Keinavo”. Provides ETL jobs to create and populate an enhanced Data Mart with additional information to be used by non administrators and external reporting tools. Can be customized as per client’s needs.

We also provide additional preconfigured Visual Analytics Data Explorations and Reports that maximise the already rich information available in the SAS EM Data Mart
