SAS Viya Operations Dashboard

SAS Viya Operations Dashboard

A collection of Grafana panels for daily operations of SAS Viya.

The dashboard helps administrators identify abnormal conditions in a few minutes during routine health checks.

Import

Import the dashboard JSON file from the Grafana Dashboard Import page.

Features

• Focused on daily operational checks.
• Designed to reduce navigation and filtering.
• Includes commonly used metrics for CPU, memory, storage, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL.
• Excludes containers that consistently show high utilization and are less useful for daily health checks (for example, pgBackRest).

Design Principles

This dashboard is not intended for deep investigation.

Instead, it is designed to answer a simple question:

Is everything healthy today?

The panels were modified from existing dashboards to reduce the number of operations required during routine monitoring.

Customization

This dashboard is intended as a starting point for SAS Viya operations.

If you find new metrics that should be monitored in daily operations, feel free to add them and customize the dashboard for your environment.

Notes

Some containers regularly appear at the top of utilization rankings even when the environment is healthy.

Use the Hidden dashboard variable to exclude such containers from charts and rankings.

Example:

pgbackrest|rabbitmq|sas-opendistro|sas-programming-environment|twistlock-defender|fluent-bit
