Displaying Run-Time Statistics in SAS Job Monitor

SAS Environment Manager is a web-based monitoring solution for a SAS environment. SAS Job Monitor is an optional component of SAS Environment Manager. It reads job logs at specified locations and displays run-time statistics from the logs. If your site has licensed SAS Environment Manager and SAS job Monitor, then you can use a web browser to display run-time statistics for SAS Visual Process Orchestration jobs.

If SAS Job Monitor is installed, then the Apps section of the SAS Data Management Console contains a link to the Monitoring Center in SAS Environment Manager. Use that link to access SAS Job Monitor.

Job statistics are collected from the job log files that are generated by the Monitor logger on the SAS Visual Process Orchestration Runtime Server. The Monitor logger is active and configured by default. For more information about job statistics and the run-time server, see the "Collect Job Status Information in the SAS Job Monitor" topic in the SAS Visual Process Orchestration Server: Administrator's Guide.

SAS Job Monitor must be configured to access the logs for SAS Visual Process Orchestration Runtime Server. The SAS Visual Process Orchestration Runtime Server is based on DataFlux Data Management Server software. Accordingly, the SAS Job Monitor configuration instructions for the DataFlux Data Management Server apply to the SAS Visual Process Orchestration Runtime Server as well. For more information, see the following topics in the Help for SAS Job Monitor:

The agent for SAS Job Monitor expects the log files to be written in UTF-8. If the log file is written in a different encoding, SAS Job Monitor might not be able to read the log correctly unless you change some default options. These options are described in the topic “DataFlux Data Management Server” in the Help for SAS Job Monitor. For example, suppose that you execute an Orchestration job on a server, and the server’s locale setting results in a job log that is not in UTF-8. You might need to update some default options for SAS Job Monitor, or it might not be able to read the log. This situation is most likely to occur for locales that do not use the Western European encoding.
