ArcGIS Monitor - track new service instance creation

[Hannah24]

I'm wondering if ArcGIS Monitor is capable of providing metrics related to instance creation. Specifically, when a new map service instance is created, can it track how much CPU and memory are used during that process?

Hi @Hannah24,

ArcGIS Monitor provides metrics on services, one of them is "instances used". See this help topic, Register ArcGIS Server - collected metrics. Please scroll down to the section titled, ArcGIS Server services metrics.

Not explicitly. I suppose you could create 3 serial charts in an analysis view: 

1. Instances used for the service
2. CPU of the host machine
3. Memory of the host machine 

Then observe when the data for chart 1 increases, note the changes in charts 2 and 3.

Hope this helps,
