Video: ArcGIS Monitor User Group meeting #2 - Analysis Views
On Mar 5, the second ArcGIS Monitor User Group meeting was held. The topic was a discussion on leveraging analysis views in Monitor.
Patrick Terry from Arizona Dept. of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and Michael Bellino & Daniel Wade from Forsyth County, GA discuss how they use analysis views in ArcGIS Monitor to help manage their Enterprise GIS deployments. This is an intermediate-level presentation. Prior knowledge of ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Monitor is recommended.
ArcGIS Monitor User Group Meeting #2: Analysis Views
Webinar attendee submitted questions & answers:
Q1: What version of ArcGIS Monitor was being used by the webinar presenters?
A1: Both Arizona Dept. of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and Forsyth County, GA were using ArcGIS Monitor 2023.3.1 in the session.
Q2. Does ArcGIS Monitor 2024.1 or 2024.1.x allow for machine monitoring without an ArcGIS component? We haven't found a way to get the monitor agent to connect when there is no ArcGIS Server, Portal, Data Store, etc.
A2: Yes. When you install ArcGIS Monitor (AM) Agent on a host machine, then register it with ArcGIS Monitor (AM) Server, you will be able to collect metrics about the host machine. The host does not have to have any ArcGIS software installed on it.
Q3: Does ArcGIS Monitor use logs interpretation to get statistics?
Q3: ArcGIS Monitor collects its data for metrics via the REST APIs and logs.
Q4: The service-check metric is a great enhancement in v2024.1. Are there plans to allow notifications based on the findings of the check-service rather than just changes to the metric itself? Currently, if a monitored webmap or REST service goes up/down, it logs the change but doesn’t trigger a notification.
A4: Can you please provide more information on what you would like to do and submit this as a new feature enhancement on the ArcGIS Monitor Ideas forum.
Q5: Are the any resources or repositories that show how to configure all of the metrics?
Q5. This blog is a good place to start, ArcGIS Monitor – Essential Resources. We suggest you start with some of the blogs that provide guidance on how to configure some analysis views in ArcGIS Monitor.
Q6. Regarding Patrick's segment, can you share how you configured monitoring shared instances/ArcSOCs?
A6. Configuration of dataview expressions:
This shows all ArcSOCs for RAM. The expression is the same for CPU but the metrics are "Process CPU Utilized" and "CPU Utilized".
This details the number of instances running for a particular ArcSOC.
The views that detailed instances saturation and mean instances used per service are from this blog,
