tldr; Automation is your friend. Use Ansible-AWX (puppet or chef is fine as well)
Issues - Run multiple commands across the data-center or planet. Example status via 'apigee-all status' or 'apigee-all stop'
Solution - Ansible-AWX allows for quick actions across your entire planet. I am able to check status among all components, perform nodetool operations, check qpid depth all from AWX frontend.
