Monitor Agent

[FrankOuyang]

Hi everyone, I am from Esri Australia. We are currently deploying monitor 2023 to a client's environment. We notice in the installation document that the agent cannot be installed on the same machine as the server. Looks like this is different to the old monitor where administrator can be installed on the same machine as the server, if my understanding is correct. 

I want to confirm if this means we will need to have one additional machine in the environment to install the agent? Currently we only have one single machine for hosting both the monitor server and administrator. Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi @KikSiops,

> Does this means we need to install agent first? or can we Upgrade the server first to 2024.1 then install 2024.1 agents to the remote servers? 

You should upgrade the AM Server install first, then install the AM Agents on the component host machines. But the first step is to identify the agent on the AM Server machine. 

Please follow the upgrade workflow in this help topic, Upgrade ArcGIS Monitor from 2023.3.1 or earlier.

Hope this helps,

thanks @DerekLaw

Hi @DerekLaw I successfully upgraded the AM Server and Agent but received an error when running this command:

Hi @KikSiops,

It looks like you need to run the command from the Monitor Agent installation location.

Hope this helps,

Hello,
Part of the requirements is that both applications be installed on separate computers. If its necessary (have different networks) maybe you can separate the current server features to distribute it and then add more resources if needed in the future.
Requirements.
* For ArcGIS Monitor Server, a minimum of 2 CPU cores and 2 GB of RAM are required.
* For ArcGIS Monitor Agent, a minimum of 1 CPU core and 1 GB of RAM are required.
Regards.
