Einführung des GIS Enterprise Reporter

DannyKrouk_ps

Eine häufige Herausforderung bei der Verwaltung eines ArcGIS Enterprise-Systems besteht darin, dessen Design und Konfiguration zu dokumentieren und/oder anderweitig zu kommunizieren. <\/P>

Typischerweise wird dies von jemandem erledigt, der ein oder mehrere Diagramme erstellt. Diese Diagramme enthalten manchmal Fehler und\/oder Auslassungen. Und sie verlieren leicht ihre Relevanz, wenn sich das System ändert. Die zugrunde liegende Herausforderung besteht darin, dass die Dokumentation des Systems nicht vom System selbst generiert wird, sondern das Verständnis einer Person zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt widerspiegelt.<\/P>

GIS Enterprise Reporter wurde entwickelt, um diese Herausforderung zu bewältigen, indem die Erstellung von Dokumentationsartefakten automatisiert wird. Richten Sie das Tool mit administrativen Anmeldeinformationen auf Ihr ArcGIS Enterprise, und es generiert eine Dokumentation, die Folgendes umfasst:<\/P>

Ein logisches Diagramm<\/LI>
Auflistungen von administrativen\/Konfigurationseinstellungen (aus den REST admin API's)<\/LI>
Auflistungen von Maschinenressourcen und installierter Software (für die Maschinen, auf denen die Software im ArcGIS Enterprise-System ausgeführt wird)<\/LI>
ArcGIS Server Service-Inventare (einschließlich Arbeitsbereiche und Datensätze)<\/LI>
Portal-Inhaltsinventar<\/LI>
Portal-Benutzer- und Gruppeninventar<\/LI>
Und Informationen über TLS\/SSL-Zertifikate (einschließlich Ablaufdaten der Zertifikate, erforderliche Vertrauenskette usw.)<\/LI><\/OL>
Die Dokumentation wird im Microsoft Excel-Format ausgegeben, was das Teilen, Analysieren und Kommentieren erleichtert.<\/P>
Dieses Tool ist für ArcGIS Enterprise-Administratoren gedacht, um ihre Systembereitstellungen zu verstehen und zu dokumentieren. Es funktioniert am besten, wenn es unter einem Konto ausgeführt wird, das auch lokaler Maschinenadministrator ist, aber das ist nicht zwingend erforderlich.<\/P>
Bitte beachten Sie, dass dieses Tool zur Unterstützung der Esri Professional Services Consulting-Praktiken erstellt wurde. Daher wird es nicht vom Esri Technical Support unterstützt. Alle vom Tool ausgeführten Anfragen werden durch ArcGIS REST API<\/A> Operationen unterstützt. <\/P>

Good morning, I find this tool essential for building an exhaustive inventory of an ArcGIS Enterprise organization. It is a wealth of information for customers but also to consolidate our relationship with them. For example, in the context of support cases, migration, version upgrade or even implementation of new uses of an ArcGIS platform. I really hope that it will be maintained, why even packaged in a solution (synchronization, data published in services on portal, synthesis with ArcGIS Dashboard). But I'm definitely dreaming. Thank you again, this is very useful for me to follow the uses of my customers. Best wishes

DannyKrouk_ps

@vbort_ef Thank you very much for the kind words. I have no plans to stop maintaining the tool ... we use it in Esri Professional Services. If you have ideas for improvement, or come across defects, please let me know. 🙂

Hello! Thank you so much for providing this very powerful tool, we have used it quite a lot. I have a (hopefully) simple question: our organization is attempting to track down what EGDB connections were used when the map services on our stand-alone ArcGIS Server sites were published. I know I can find this information in the \arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\[Folder]\[xyz.MapServer]\extracted\manifest.xml file, however, I am curious if Enterprise Reporter is capable of collecting all of this information into a single source? I have briefly examined its outputs and I definitely see registered data stores, but I have been unable to identify specific service database connections.

Any advice is very appreciated 🙂 Thank you, kindly.

DannyKrouk_ps

@cboyerTucson Thanks for the kind words.

If that's not quite what you're after, perhaps you can tell me what is missing relative to your interests?

Thanks 🙂

Dearest @DannyKrouk , you have just saved me HOURS and HOURS of work. If I could bake you a box of cookies, you'd best believe I would. Thank you so so much for your lightning quick and immeasurably helpful reply and work on this incredible product. 🙏

DannyKrouk_ps

@cboyerTucson Ha! Thanks. Virtual cookies are almost as good as real ones! 😉

SteveMcCarthy

@DannyKrouk Has there been any thought as to adding this amazing tool to ArcGIS Monitor? It would be a great fit based on the permissions required to run ArcGIS Monitor. The ArcGIS Monitor Excel Report tool and the would Enterprise Reporting Tool really compliment each other.

Great job on this tool!

Thank you,

Steve

DannyKrouk_ps

@SteveMcCarthy - Thanks for the idea (and the kind sentiment). I have worked with the ArcGIS Monitor team to help them plan their functionality roadmap as it relates to eGDBs. I had built extensions for the "classic" ArcGIS Monitor edition. I believe their design intent was to include much of what those extensions did in the core product. I have to confess that I have not followed what has come to fruition. But, it does seem like there has been interest and intent. I am sure that, if you have specific ideas, that they would appreciate hearing them. 🙂

@DannyKrouk This tool is amazing and has saved me a ton of time tracking dependencies on services/databases when we migrated our org to a new server stack last year that had a totally revamped architecture.

I would like to use the output from this this as the source data for some Power BI dashboarding that we are looking to develop to give an admin perspective of our Prod/Test/AGOL environments. The part I'm trying to work though is figuring out how to set this up as a scheduled task. I have been looking at Python subprocess and I can open the program but am struggling with the arguments. Do you have any advice for scheduling Enterprise Reported to run on an interval.

DannyKrouk_ps

@Daniel_C Thank you for the kind words!

There is a separate executable called "er.exe" which can be used for scheduled execution of GIS Enterprise Reporter. That's kind of an historical accident. The code called by the executable is the same as that which gets called by the GUI.

Section #6 in the Word document that comes with the tool discusses how to use the command-line interface. Essentially, you put your parameters in a json file and provide the file as an argument to the command-line. Here's a partial screen capture from that section of the doc:

Please note that AsynchronousExecution is no longer supported (i.e. the parameter should either be absent or the value should be "false" if it is present) ... another historical accident (sorry).

Does this help?

Daniel_C

@DannyKrouk

That is exactly what I needed. Appreciate the info!

dgiersz_cuyahoga

Will there be a Windows 11 version released? I get a 'This app can't run on your PC' warning when starting the executable. I am using Windows 11 Enterprise.

***Edit*** My bad, I think my exe was corrupted somehow. Downloading the latest version corrected my issue. Keep up the great work!

DannyKrouk_ps

@dgiersz_cuyahoga Thanks for the update. The app should run on Win11. If you continue to have problems after your re-download, please reach out *with screen captures* ... here or via email (dkrouk@esri.com).

Mohd_AkmalJasman

I've run the enterprise reporter in purpose to understand our customer environment deployment. While we analyze the report, we find out one of the repositories categorized as "queue store" just below the relational store. Is queue store being another name for graph store?

DannyKrouk_ps

Hello @AkmalJasman - I believe queue store is a "quiet default" at a certain release of ArcGIS Enterprise (in the Data Store). It is not another name for the Graph Store (you can add a Graph Store also). I've never seen an option to configure it (or to leave it out of the configuration). I don't know what it does. And, I've not seen any documentation that explains. Sorry that I cannot offer any clarity. To me, it is just a fact reported by the API.

Hi @DannyKrouk

Is it possible to determine which registered datastore is in use by each service? I know I can get which database is in use from the manifest but its the datastore name I am after.

I have inherited a bit of mess to unravel where datastores have been registered with different names but reference the same database, so I want to identify services that are using the spurious datastores, republish them with the correct datastore then get rid of the mess once there are no services using them.

DannyKrouk_ps

@ShaunGibbins - You may be interested in the "Services datasets" sheet in the Admin Excel. Each row is a unique combination of service, workspace, and dataset. So, you can see not just which repositories are referenced by a service, but also which datasets. "Manifest workspace info" also reports the repositories referenced by services (slightly different details). The question of *registered* repository is much trickier. It is not always possible to relate the repositories used by services to those which are registered (for a variety of reasons). But, "Registered Workspace Cross References" attempts to do that.

ShaunGibbins

Thanks Danny

I will give it a try, thanks for your help.

TracyMoy

We just used the tool on our system. Thank you so much! Awesome tool!

DannyKrouk_ps

@TracyMoy I'm glad the tool is useful for you. Thank you saying so. 🙂

LHo

Hi Danny

Thanks for providing this tool!

Just wondering are you aware of any tool that can convert these excel output files into dummy arcgis python api objects? This way we could reuse python using arcgis code without having to rely on https.

DannyKrouk_ps

@LHo If you are asking about creating JSON objects, this is what the "migrator artifacts" button does. Be careful what you ask for ... it writes a lot of files.

LHo

Hi @DannyKrouk

I was more thinking a kind of adaptor or ingestion function to create at least a subset of the objects, properties, methods etc available in the arcgis python api.

For example, this works when we connect directly to a portal via https.

import arcgis
gis = arcgis.GIS(url, u, p)
user = gis.users.get(username)
groups = user.groups

But we have a lot of the info in the GIS Reporter output excel files / artifacts, and we could potentially use a lot of the same code if we create similar objects. Example

import arcgis_from_reporter as repgis
gis = repgis.GIS(admin_excel_file, content_excel_file)
user = gis.users.get(username)
groups = user.groups

DannyKrouk_ps

@LHo I see. So, you don't want *objects*, you want *classes*. I have no plans to generate classes from GIS Enterprise Reporter. Sorry.

DeanMoiler

Thanks for creating this tool @DannyKrouk, I make use of it quite a bit and it's brilliant!

DannyKrouk_ps

@DeanMoiler Thank you for the kind words. If you have enhancement ideas (or defects), please be in touch.

iprameshwari

Hi @DannyKrouk! thanks for creating this awesome tool! it helped me a lot in doing assessment contents of our organization's Portal 😀

I've been searching thoroughly but I haven't found any columns in Portal Content and Server Admin's excel that represent the serviceLayerID (like MapServer/3). Is there anything like so or probably it's going to be improved in the future?

DannyKrouk_ps

@iprameshwari - Thank you for the kind words. For reasons that are not known to me, ArcGIS Server puts the layer id's in the REST services API but not the REST admin API. This tool only accesses the admin API. So, unless the product developers put the layer id's in the admin API, then it would not be in the foreseeable future of this tool. Sorry about that. - Danny

RickeyFight

@DannyKrouk
Thank you for this tool. I ran it and created a simple local html that allows for the search for layers and webapp titles. That way others in our dept can look up layers or webapps if they need service information.

DannyKrouk_ps

I'm glad the tool is useful for you @RickeyFight 🙂
