Top 10 metrics to track in Monitor?

[GrantSmith122]

Hello Monitor Community!

I am a new user to Monitor and am interested in getting everyone's thoughts on some of their most beneficial metrics to track in Monitor? Our office just finished installing Monitor and has a multi-machine Staging and Production Enterprise environment that we'd like to monitor. Both the Staging and Production Enterprise environments have SQL Server DBs attached as well.

I understand that alerts and incidents will be unique to the specific business requirements that our office has, but I thought it would be interesting to get people's opinions on some of the most beneficial metrics to track that they've found. I know Monitor is capable of a lot, and I'm looking forward to using it in the most effective ways possible!

Hi @GrantSmith122,

A couple of blogs that highlight some useful metrics: 

1. 5 Useful ArcGIS Server Analysis Elements in ArcGIS Monitor
2. ArcGIS Monitor: Analysis Elements for Enterprise portal content

Hope this helps,

Awesome! Thanks Derek, I'll take a look at them.

I used the blog for adding elements for Enterprise Portal and have a question for the Portal User Types. Is it possible to configure this to show the different Creator roles? We have several roles that have been created and I would like to see how many of each are allocated on the Portal page. I looked and did not see any metric that showed the roles that are listed on the Portal Members page.

As you mentioned, ArcGIS Monitor does not query for Enterprise portal roles at this time. Sorry. Please submit this as an enhancement request on the ArcGIS Monitor Ideas forum. 

Hope this helps,

FYI @GrantSmith122,

We just published a new blog,

ArcGIS Monitor: Analysis Elements for Enterprise portal performance

Hope this helps,

This is great, thanks Derek!
