Good point, Jaap. SAS Environment Manager is quite a robust monitoring tool and its capabilities overlap with most enterprise-level monitoring tools. So if an IT shop can use either to monitor most of the generic metrics they might care about. What SAS Environment Manager adds is the SAS-specific monitoring and users often want to know how to get those additional events into their enterprise monitoring software. True, a direct feed would be ideal but presents a pretty steep development/support burden. Until that's a possibility, I hope this alternative can be of use to integrate selected monitoring information to most any enterprise monitoring tools you may have.
I appreciate you reading and thanks for your comment.
