It’s almost as if you’d read the charter for the SAS Environment Manager project! This admin tool was introduced with 9.4 and its goal is to help make SAS administrators self-sufficient while at the same time help them communicate what they need to IT. I’m not going to claim we’ve achieved both goals yet, but we’re making progress. The monitoring and alerting that’s available now has been very well received. What we’re still working on is “seeding” it with recommended alerts & metric collection levels, improving its ability to communicate with existing IT monitoring systems, and providing web-based replacement for SAS Management Console functionality.

I don’t mean to sound like an ad, but I do want folks to know that this is a critical area for SAS and a lot of work is going on. Thank you for continuing to tell us what you need.
