Tenants

The Tenants view provides comprehensive management capabilities for multi-tenant DataStream deployments. This interface enables administrators to create, monitor, and manage separate tenant organizations with dedicated resource allocations and complete data isolation.

To access the Tenants view:

  • Go to the Home > Organization pane
  • Click Manage Tenants

-or-

  • Click the hamburger menu on the top left

Tenant Table​

The table displays all tenant organizations with their operational status and resource usage:

  • Company Name - Tenant organization identifier
  • Account Owner - Primary administrative contact
  • Data Ingestion Limit - Allocated daily processing capacity (GB)
  • Av. Daily Data Ingest - Current usage percentage of allocated limit
  • Status - Tenant operational state (Enabled/Disabled)

Tenant Actions​

The Action Menu (⋮) provides tenant management operations:

  • View company details - Access detailed tenant information and settings
  • Log in to tenant - Switch context to manage tenant-specific configurations

Multitenancy Management​

VirtualMetric DataStream multitenancy enables enterprises to allocate licensed resources to other organizations, creating isolated tenant environments for independent telemetry processing. Each tenant operates with dedicated resource allocations, separate configurations, and complete data isolation while sharing the underlying DataStream infrastructure.

Create New Tenant​

  1. Access Tenant Management

    • Navigate to Organization → Tenants
    • Click Create New Tenant button

  2. Configure Tenant Details

    • Tenant Name: Unique identifier for the organization
    • Owner: Primary contact for the tenant
    • Status: Set to Active to enable access
    • Parent Tenant: Select parent for hierarchical structure (optional)

  3. Set Resource Limits

    • Data Ingestion Limit: Daily data processing threshold
    • User Limit: Maximum number of users allowed
    • Storage Limit: Data retention capacity restrictions
    • Pipeline Limit: Maximum concurrent processing pipelines

  4. Subscription Configuration

    • Plan ID: Select appropriate service tier
    • Edition ID: Choose feature set availability
    • Subscription ID: Link to billing subscription

Tenant Hierarchy Management​

Parent-Child Relationships: Tenants can be organized hierarchically for enterprise management.

  • Parent Tenant: Controls child tenant configurations and limits
  • Child Tenant: Inherits parent restrictions and policies
  • Data Isolation: Each tenant has completely isolated data processing and storage

Subtenant Management​

Create subtenants for departmental or project-specific data isolation:

  1. Create Subtenant

    • Navigate to tenant → Subtenants section
    • Click Add Subtenant
    • Configure name, owner, and resource allocations

  2. Subtenant Properties

    • Owner Email: Administrative contact
    • Usage Tracking: Monitor data ingestion against limits
    • Independent Configuration: Separate devices, pipelines, and targets

Disable/Delete Tenant​

Disable Tenant:

  1. Navigate to Tenants management
  2. Select target tenant
  3. Change Status to Inactive
  4. Tenant retains data but loses access

Delete Tenant:

  1. Prerequisites: Tenant must be inactive and data exported
  2. Navigate to tenant settings
  3. Click Delete Tenant (requires confirmation)
  4. Warning: This permanently removes all tenant data and configurations

Tenant Access Control​

Each tenant maintains independent:

  • User accounts and roles
  • Device configurations
  • Processing pipelines
  • Target destinations
  • Audit logs and monitoring

Users cannot access data or configurations from other tenants, ensuring complete isolation.

Resource Monitoring​

Track tenant usage through:

  • Daily data ingestion volume
  • Active user count
  • Storage consumption
  • Pipeline execution statistics

Alerts trigger when tenants approach configured limits.
