Cannot create Check service observer in ArcGIS Monitor

[Vincent828]

Hi, we would like to monitor a custom application URL by ArcGIS Monitor Check - Service observer. However, we cannot enable the optional metric as follows, according to the documentation (Register ArcGIS Server—ArcGIS Monitor | Documentation). Just want to clarify if it appropriate to use Check - Service observer to monitor custom application. Also, is there any trick to create Check-Service observer?

The Check Service Observer introduced at version 2024.1 currently only works with registered GIS Services.

• Check - Service is an optional, user-configured observer that sends a request to an ArcGIS Server service and uses a regular expression pattern to validate its JSON response.

@StevenBeothy already answered this question. The Check Service observer only works with registered service components in Monitor.

This is not currently possible in ArcGIS Monitor. Please submit a feature enhancement request in the ArcGIS Monitor Ideas forum.

> ... is there any trick to create Check-Service observer?

To enable and apply the Check-Service observer, under the Monitoring page > select a service component > Observers subtab. Click the Add observer button to display the Add Observer dialog. For Observer Type, select Check – Service.

Hope this helps,
