Hi William,
The links that you are referring to are not available. Could you post the full URLs to the articles you are mentioning?
I am looking for a tool to measure the usage of our gis server services and applications. We need to measure which maps are being used, by whom, when, from where? ... Is there a tool from ESRI that does this?
I just found this sample code in the documentation
Example: Create a report of all service requests—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server
I hope this helps.
