I've been administering ArcGIS Servers for a long time and have often looked at the "view logs" tab to find services that are having problems.  I'm now questioning some of things I've been taking for granted, specifically in the "Time elapsed" column.    1)  Is "Time elapsed" in seconds or milliseconds?  I have always assumed it is in seconds because most of the entries are 0.xyzxy going out to 5 decimal places.  So, if I see 0.55621 I assume that is about half a second (556 milliseconds).  If I see 77.0 then that is 77 seconds and a problem that needs to be investigated.  Today I looked at the documentation to confirm it, because I was seeing some very high numbers, like in the several hundreds  range (466.0 for example).  The documentation says it is in milliseconds, which would mean that 0.55621 is actually 1/2 of a millisecond?  And 446.0 is nothing to worry about because it is less than half a second?   Work with server logs—ArcGIS Server | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise   2) "Time elapsed" is treated as a text field? Following the login in #1, I have always thought I could sort descending on Time Elapsed to find the longest transactions and use that to identify potential issues.   Today I realized it is sorting it as if were not numbers, but text?  How, then, can we identify the longest running transactions to target problem services??   Any insight, clarification or workarounds would be appreciated.       ...

We have some use cases for what I am calling "Temporal hotels".   By this I am describing a hotel that has a time component as well as a space component. Our organization has more people than office space, and we have set up Indoors as our hotelling / reservation solution.  However, some groups share the same space, but on different days.  We would like to be able to take a given space and allow different sets of users to reserve on different days. For example: Assign 20 cubicles to a hotel.  Allow one group of people to reseve on M,T and a different group on W,T.  Let both groups reserve it on F. Perhaps it could be controlled at the hotel level by including days of the week and allowing units to be assigned to more than one hotel.  Create one hotel called "Hotel A" configured to only accept reservations for M,T,F.and assign 20 units to it.     Create a second hotel called "Hotel B" configured to only accept reservations forT,W,F and assign the same 20 units to it.  Different groups of people can then be assigned to the two hotels. ...

For ArcGIS Server, installed as part of ArcGIS Enterprise, the default instance type is "Shared".  When we installed all of our AGE components, we left the default settings in place. Today I noticed that our two image servers each hvae the default instance type set to "dedicated".   Is "dedicated" the default for Image Server, unlike other ArcGIS Server roles?   Is there a reason to leave it as is?  My instinct is to change it to "shared", but mayube this is by design? ...
