ArcGIS Monitor Determining least used services

[GIS412]

Hello,

I've installed ArcGIS Monitor Server and have installed the ArcGIS Monitor Agents on our ArcGIS Servers.

I'm trying to gather some metrics on services that were published (map image services, feature services) and are not used. My first thought is checking the rate request over a 6 month period. If it is 0 or near 0 then that service is not being used.

Is this correct? Or should I be looking at other metrics to determine low use/none used services.

Hey @GIS412 

I used this method to remove some of my own feature services recently. I have a few that are quite old that have zero requests, which means they're desolate at this point. I believe that this is a reliable way to tell, I would just be sure that there's no outstanding connections or reliance on the map, but I've used this method personally.

Thank you!

Is there a way to aggregate the request rate metric for non-system services (only map/feature services) across the entire ArcServer deployment?

Hi @ChrisWoodward,

Yes, this should be possible. Please refer to this blog for some guidance,

In the first example for Requests Received Per Service, you can change the Identifier to be Request Rate.



Hope this helps,
