Introducing the Notilyze Cloud Admin Dashboard: Supporting Self-Service Management for SAS Viya

We are excited to announce the launch of our latest feature: the Notilyze Cloud Admin Dashboard. This intuitive, lightweight solution is designed to provide our customers with greater control over their SAS Viya environments – all while maintaining the full "as-a-service" experience you expect from Notilyze Cloud.

Why We Developed the Admin Dashboard

At Notilyze, we understand that our customers value flexibility and autonomy. While we continue to offer fully managed SAS Viya environments, we wanted to enhance our services by introducing more self-service functionalities. Our new Admin Dashboard delivers additional flexibility, empowering SAS administrators to handle key management tasks that were previously inaccessible without external support. This way, our customers experience more control and self-reliance.

With the Admin Dashboard, administrators now have the ability to:

• Monitor the status of services in real-time
• Restart individual services
• Download logs for troubleshooting purposes

These are critical tools for any SAS administrator, and they are now fully integrated into our platform to increase efficiency and reduce downtime.

Key Features of the Notilyze Cloud Admin Dashboard

The Admin Dashboard is available for Viya 4 environments hosted on Notilyze Cloud. It is structured around three core tabs, designed to simplify management and monitoring tasks:

1. Workloads

• Monitor SAS services: Get real-time updates on the status of individual SAS services. Each SAS component is shown as a coloured block – making it easy to see potential issues.
• Download logs: Quickly access logs for specific services to troubleshoot or review performance issues.
• Restart services: SAS administrators can restart individual services or even perform a full restart of all services when needed.

2. Nodes

• Node-level monitoring: Track important metrics such as CPU, memory, and disk usage across nodes within the Kubernetes cluster that powers the SAS environment. This tab will warn you if a certain server is reaching it’s limit due to for example, low storage space.

3. Compute Servers

• Session monitoring: Download logs from both current and previous compute sessions to track usage or troubleshoot issues.
• Usage metrics: View resource usage across compute sessions to ensure optimal performance.

Enhancing Efficiency with Self-Service

The Notilyze Cloud Admin Dashboard enables SAS administrators to streamline daily operations, reducing reliance on external support and increasing operational efficiency. By placing more control directly in the hands of our customers, we empower them to manage their environments with confidence and ease.

This new feature underscores our commitment to providing scalable, flexible, and user-friendly solutions for SAS Viya users. We are excited to see how it will help our customers take full advantage of their Notilyze Cloud environments.
