hello.

we have crashing arcgis server, we restarted it and its works. but i would like understand why.

@tadaskiškėnas ArcSOCs are the map service instances that run on the server. So either one individual service threw a wobbly and potentially bottlenecked your server, or the EXE that generates the new ArcSOC instances crashed.

Either way, you can triangulate activity on your portal if you have FINE logs enabled, and you query the logs for the few minutes leading up the the crash

there are two ways

1- go to arcgis server manager open logs then make a query to get the logs as attached screenshot 

2- check where the acrgis server installed you will find the logs will looks like that<<C:\arcgisserver\logs\your machine name\server>>

thanks a lot, guys.

but it didn't helped a more: in logs i see only "The Web Server was found to be stopped when it should have been started. Restarting it" but why it happpens - god knows. ArcGIS server even not crashed (there is no events in windows logs, and Server service also running.
so u think, "Fine" option in logging could provide more info?

How about aligning the source with the Server Framework in the server manager's log and checking it? ArcSOC is an instance of a service, and if this is a problem, there are various causes.
For example, a small java heap size for a particular service might be the cause, or there might be too many ArcSOCs that caused the system to crash.

1. Server Manager > Logs > Log Filter : Debug,  Source : Server Framework > Query

2. ArcSOC count check
   cmd > tasklist | find /I /C "Arcsoc.exe"

3. GIS Server Version
