Virtana Platform Getting Started

Get started using Virtana Platform. As an administrator, you configure users and organizations, assign roles, monitor license usage, and help new users navigate the platform page so they can quickly find the services and data they need.

User management

User management lets administrators add and remove users, assign roles, and control access to features across the Virtana Platform. From a central location, you can invite new users, configure their authentication and authorization, and map their responsibilities to predefined or custom roles. Proper user management helps ensure that only authorized users can view sensitive data, perform administrative tasks, or modify monitored environments. Learn more.

Managing your profile and user settings

Each user can manage their own profile and personal settings to tailor Virtana Platform to how they work. Profile management typically includes configuring preferences such as enabling dark theme, organization, module, section, and landing page options. Adjusting user settings improves usability, ensures accurate alert delivery, and provides a personalized experience without requiring administrator intervention. Learn more.

Organizations in Virtana Platform

Organizations define logical boundaries for your environments, teams, and data within the Virtana Platform. As an admin, you can use organizations to group related accounts, control cross-organization visibility, and structure access by business unit or project. Organization settings influence which users can see which assets and dashboards, making it easier to separate production from non-production environments, enforce data isolation, and manage multi-tenant or multi-team deployments.

License usage reports

License usage reports provide visibility into how your Virtana Platform subscription is being consumed over time. Admins can review metrics such as active resources, monitored capacity, and feature utilization to ensure usage stays within licensed limits and to plan for growth. These reports help you identify underused licenses, justify renewals or expansions, and align licensing with the actual footprint of your monitored infrastructure. Learn more.

Navigating Virtana Platform

Navigation in Virtana Platform is organized around a central platform page that links to all major services, dashboards, and administrative tools. As an admin, understanding this layout helps you guide users to the right features, such as governance, observability, or reporting views, and quickly reach configuration areas like user, organization, and license management. Familiarity with the navigation model reduces onboarding time, lowers support requests, and enables you to make full use of the platform’s capabilities. Learn more.
