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.
