Thanks. I was hoping someone in the ESRI universe had tried it already, but I'll start tinkering with it and post any relevant results.  ... View more

A quick follow-up to this. The ArcGIS Monitor collector worked initially because it found the ip address of one of the site's active machines. Once the auto-scaling group had replaced that machine though, the Monitor collector stopped working. The moral of this story is that the ArcMonitor 'ArcGIS' collector doesn't handle AWS auto-scaling groups well because it tries to register the ip address of the machine instead of using the site's url. The machines in that scenario are variable so the collector breaks. I can understand why this would not work with an ArcGIS Monitor 'system' collector (it can't dynamically monitor changing machines), but I would hope it could recognize an ArcGIS Server site, regardless of the underlying machines participating in the site. ...

It is not that simple. Yes I can get to my Manager URL, however Monitor is trying to resolve the underlying private IP address of the server for some reason. That won't work because an auto-scaled ArcGIS Server environment uses different machines every day with different IP addresses, so even if it registers the right IP when I create the collector, that may not work the next day because that machine IP is no longer joined to the site. I also cannot use elastic ip's with an auto-scaling group. This is not a standard scenario. Our ArcGIS Server uses an AWS EC2 auto-scaling group with an elastic load balancer and does NOT use the ArcGIS Web Adaptor. I have an ArcGIS collector setup in Monitor with my other ArcGIS Server that works fine. That server that also uses an elastic load balancer, but is not an auto-scaled server. ESRI must be doing the same thing as I am trying to do with their internal systems. ESRI staff has told me they use AWS auto-scaling and ArcGIS Monitor to monitor their systems. How is their setup different? Also, please don't paste instructions from the standard documentation and then mark the answer as correct. That is very presumptive. ... View more

We deployed this solution publicly last January. We agree - Facebook integration would be super useful. We would also like Google account and email integration. This is the #1 issue we get complaints about - the citizen not being able to easily track their reports. Google+ was shutdown in April for consumer accounts. It is only supported within enterprise Google accounts now. ArcGIS login integration doesn't help us because that would mean every citizen creating an account would need a login within our organization - not feasible. We do have some users who have connected using their Twitter accounts, but not many. We are exploring external identity management solutions to maybe integrate with this app, but who knows how costly/complex those may be? Nataliya Lys‌ Allison Muise‌ ... View more

All outbound ports are open to all traffic on both the CloudFormation stack's security group and the Monitor server's security group. ... View more

I don't believe Tech support will be able to answer this question. I already have an established Monitor setup and I am now trying to add one new component that has a slightly different configuration than my existing ArcGIS Servers. I was hoping someone who has worked with the Cloudformation templates and ELB's might have some thoughts. I'll keep investigating... ... View more

Thanks, John. I do have Process counters setup, so I will just use those to keep an eye on the ArcGIS Server and Portal processes. ... View more

Hi John I do have a successful system counter for this server. However, I am not able to get the WinService counter to work using the server's hostname, public ip, nor private ip. Any other ideas? ... View more
