Guys,

We have recently implemented audit reports and everything is working well, with the exception of the /EVDMLA/audit_visualanalytics.sas7bdat and /EVDMLA/Append/audit_visualanalytics.sas7bdat tables. All the other audit tables are updated in /EVDMLA data directory, including the VA web Application. The audit_visualanalytics table is not updated in the VA app or on the server.

Any ideas where I can check to track down the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @BStone,

 

If this is still an issue, you may want to check out Gerry's latest blog post that takes a look at under the covers with SAS Visual Analytics auditing - What is going on with my SAS Visual Analytics audit data collection?

 

The links in the blog post may also help.

 

Kind Regards,

Michelle

Hi @BStone

 

If you are still looking for the solution, it was the autoload setting that needs to be updated on SMC for VA 7.2 

 

Under Application Management tab >

Visual Analytics 7.2 > Properties > Advanced 

 

Change va.AuditingEnabled to true from false. 

 

Best ,

Hello All,

 

We've got SAS 9.4M2 - VA 7.2 - but I can't currently find a AUDIT_VISUALANALYTICS dataset being produced anywhere. 

 

EMI Framework settings are like this:

 

EMI Framework Setting...

EMI Framework Initialized [true]
APM Initialized [true]
ACM Initialized [true]
KITS Initialized [true]
APM Enabled [true]
ACM Enabled [true]
KITS Enabled [true]
VA Feed Enabled [true]

 

Also in SAS MC  va.AudtingEnable is set to true.

 

So just wondering does anybody know which EMI Framework process produces the AUDIT_VISUALANALYTICS dataset and why it is not getting created?

 

Thanks,
Tom

This is a very good video that walks you through the process:

Hello Madelyn,

 

Thank you, from Bobbie's video - She details that:

  • 'If the Visual Analytics middle and server tiers are on separate machines which are not the same operating system, the audit data feed is not supported'

 

We have our our Web App Middle-Tier on a Windows server and our VA Server tier is Red-Hat linux so does this mean that VA Auditing will not work at all?

 

Thanks,
Tom

I believe the restriction is specifically the compute server (where the workspace server is) and the middle tier being on different machines. Where is VA running in relation to the compute tier? If they are on different computers with different operating systems, then the audit and relationship data feeds are not supported.

 

In addtion, if you have the SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting (VAAR) product, then auditing is not supported.

 

Otherwise, you might find this note helpful:

Hello Madelyn,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

We have VAAR. And also our Compute tier is Windows and the VA is linux.

So based on your response this means that VA auditing is not supported on our environment unfortunately.


Thanks,
Tom
