ArcGIS Server "image server" error

[RoyceSimpson]

I'm getting a severe error in ArcGIS Server that has something to do with image server but I can't figure out what it is or how to stop these errors.  I don't have any image server services running so why these errors are happening.  Any advice on how to get these to stop would be great. Thanks.

RasterProcessing.imageserver is a system tool and exists on all newer ArcGIS Server installations, so it does exist - it's not started by default though. I'm not sure why you're getting an error like that - but even when I start and attempt to access either the SOAP or REST endpoint for this service I get either an http 500 or 400, respectively. May be because I don't have my GIS Server configured in the ImageServer role. The error reads like something made a request to this service and couldn't find it. Which version are you working with?

[RoyceSimpson]

Hi Randall.  Everything you say makes sense.  The problem is, when I go into Manager, then "system" and look for any kind of raster or image service... I don't see anything.  Should there be something there by default, out of the box?

I'm runing 10.4.1.

It's not there in the 10.4.1 server I have access to either. I've seen weird logs when an invalid service name is accessed, but I don't see anything in the log you're looking at. Are you doing any administration in ArcMap? I ask because ArcMap makes SOAP calls to ArcGIS Server and these days would be the most common client to make a SOAP request.

That said, I tested with ArcMap 10.6 against my 10.4.1 server, and don't see any errors like that. With that said, it looks like some client somewhere is trying to make a request to a system service that doesn't exist on this resource. Portal only makes restful calls...

Might be able to take a look at the web tier logs and correlate the time stamps and find the IP of the client that's reaching out to your server(?)

[RoyceSimpson]

That all makes sound sense.  Will have peek at those web logs and see if anything pops out.
