About SAS Visual Analytics Administrator

SAS Visual Analytics Administrator enables administrators to view SAS LASR Analytic Server and manage server connections by starting or stopping them in the LASR Tables tab. You can load tables from SAS metadata to the SAS LASR Analytic Servers, HDFS, or to co-located providers such as Teradata and Greenplum servers, and register them as LASR tables. Tables that are loaded to the SAS LASR Analytic Server are referred to as LASR tables. Tables that are loaded can be unloaded and reloaded as needed.
After the SAS LASR Analytic Server is started, administrators can view the information about the status, host, and port information for server connections that are associated with the SAS LASR Analytic server component in the metadata. The LASR Tables tab also provides information about rows and columns for LASR tables that are associated with libraries and the server connection. User account information for the start time of a SAS LASR Analytic Server connection, and the last time it was accessed is displayed. In addition, you can conveniently start and stop the SAS LASR Analytic Server components that are displayed in the LASR Tables tab.
An Authorization page provides quick information about the effective permissions for a table or a folder, indicates any direct access controls, and enables you to add or remove explicit controls. You can add an explicit grant or denial for the tables in the metadata or for LASR tables. You can also set a row-level permission for a LASR table by selecting a conditional grant and specifying the condition.
For deployments that use SAS High-Performance Deployment of Hadoop, you can view information about the properties and values for files in HDFS. Because SAS uses a special file format for the data that is stored in HDFS, the HDFS content explorer also provides information about the columns and row count for the prepared data.
Resource and process monitors are provided so that administrators can view real-time statistics and visualizations of resource use such as central processing unit (CPU) utilization, memory utilization, and input/output (I/O) rates. A line plot of resource utilization against time is provided. In addition, a real-time view creates a visualization for each blade that is used in the cluster and each CPU on a blade.
The Mobile Devices tab enables you to manage mobile devices that use SAS Mobile BI. This enables administrators to easily manage access to data through SAS Visual Analytics applications by mobile devices. Information about the mobile devices in your organization is available to administrators. The information includes user ID, device information, and timestamp of last access.
