Other User Preferences in the Administrator

In the Preferences window, under SAS Visual Analytics Administratorthen selectManage Environment, the following settings are available:
Resource monitor sample rate (ms)
Specifies, in milliseconds, the sampling rate that the resource monitor uses for polling the machines in the cluster. This setting is not applicable to a non-distributed server.

Specifies, in milliseconds, the sampling rate that the performance monitor uses for polling application instances. This setting is not applicable to a non-distributed server.
Show the processes that measure performance
Controls whether processes that measure performance are included in the process-monitoring graphs. To include performance measurement processes in the graphs, select the check box. If several instances of performance measurement processes are running, they can negatively impact performance. This setting is not applicable to a non-distributed server.
Record actions as SAS statements
Saves the SAS code that the administrator generates when you perform certain tasks. You can save all recorded code in a single file or you can save the recorded code for each task in its own file.
If you enable recording, the following actions are recorded:
  • Start or stop a SAS LASR Analytic Server.
  • Load, reload, or unload a table.
  • Add a table to co-located HDFS (Add to HDFS) or NFS-mounted MapR (Add to Data Server).
  • Delete a table from co-located HDFS.
Note: You can modify and schedule recorded statements. However, metadata server connection information is not recorded. For information about the metadata server connection options, see SAS Language Interfaces to Metadata.
