ArcGIS Monitor in a scaling environment

[NCOneMap]

We have ArcGIS Monitor server installed and operational on a machine in our AWS environment. It was collecting metrics from our ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 cloud installation without issue. Our AWS auto-scaling group started performing scaling actions in response to system demands and now Monitor is not collecting any data from the ArcGIS Server site. Two questions: how does Monitor handle scaling-in and -out events in the cloud when ArcGIS Server machines come and go in a site according to demand? And, has anyone else encountered this and found a solution? Thanks.

Hi @NCOneMap,

Adding and removing machines from the ArcGIS Server site should not have effected how ArcGIS Monitor collects metrics for the site. Do you see any errors in the logs indicating that the ArcGIS Server's observers are failing to run?

With that being said, when new machines are spun up you will not get Host component metrics until you manually register it with ArcGIS Monitor. This is a deployment scenario that the team has thought about and will release a set of scripts alongside the next release to help make the monitoring experience more seamless when auto deploy is being used.

Thanks Josh. Yes - screenshot of the error attached. Good to know about the upcoming release enhancement. We're running 2023.3.1. Is there an ETA on that?
