Administering and maintaining an enterprise GIS can sometimes be challenging, especially if an organization does not have IT expertise, or as the enterprise GIS capabilities scale and grow over time. It is important to ensure the enterprise GIS has quality system performance and health, in order to minimize and prevent system downtime. GIS managers and administrators can use ArcGIS Monitor for holistic monitoring of ArcGIS Enterprise and its underlying infrastructure. Monitor collects data and information on an enterprise GIS deployment and provides alerting, notifications, and reporting capabilities. It enables managers and administrators to proactively manage ArcGIS Enterprise and ensures it effectively supports business workflows (from an IT perspective). What is ArcGIS Monitor? ArcGIS Monitor helps operate and manage ArcGIS Enterprise implementations by providing actionable insights into system health, performance, and usage. Monitor allows you to: Allocate appropriate system resources Collect quantitative metrics on enterprise GIS assets Investigate performance issues Scale the system; justify system resource requests Improve communication among GIS, IT, business, and management stakeholders The ArcGIS Monitor team is excited to announce the release of ArcGIS Monitor 2023, a next generation release with a completely new architecture and internal framework. Feature highlights include: Redesigned and improved UI/UX experience Installation support on Windows and Linux Internal repository uses PostgreSQL; no longer based on MongoDB Register and monitor enterprise GIS resources such as: hosts, databases, geodatabases, GIS servers, web services, and enterprise portals as components Dynamically organize components via collections based on business needs Labeling allows flexible annotation of monitored components Improved and more flexible data metrics display capabilities Additional configuration options when setting up alerts, notifications, and incidents Subscribe to events and transmit them via email or webhooks via notifications Register enterprise GIS resources as components View data metrics on your enterprise GIS assets (for example GIS servers) Organizations, irrespective of the size of their deployment, who want to: better manage their ArcGIS Enterprise deployments; ensure their systems are working efficiently and optimally; and proactively manage their enterprise GIS to mitigate system downtime; should take advantage of ArcGIS Monitor. Its comprehensive capabilities are uniquely tailored to work with ArcGIS and can fit into any organization’s existing monitoring ecosystem. Organizations across multiple industries are already leveraging ArcGIS Monitor for their ArcGIS Enterprise performance management.

If you attended the recent Esri User Conference, whether in person or virtually, we hope you enjoyed your experience. In case you missed the “ArcGIS Maritime: What’s New” demo theater session, here is a recap. Our agenda included three key topics: An overview of the next-generation bathymetry tools What’s new in ArcGIS Maritime since the 2021 user conference New opportunities and applications of ArcGIS Maritime @MeredithPayne1, product owner for ArcGIS Bathymetry, introduced new features planned for the ArcGIS Pro 3.1 release,  including geoprocessing tools for Bathymetric Information System (BIS) administration and data management. A demo of the web app for data exploration and extraction was also shared, along with a quick look at the road map for this completely redesigned ArcGIS Bathymetry product. @TomDePuyt, product owner for ArcGIS Maritime server extension, presented a list of new features released between the last quarter of 2021 and July of this year. Some key features include the ability to generate Inland ENC (IENC) and bathymetric IENC products, support for DNC and TOD, updates to the Custom Chart Builder application, and new features in the roadmap. The Esri Maritime team has been making tremendous progress in the effort to extend our maritime products beyond charting. The session concluded with a discussion around how numerous organizations are integrating web services published by ArcGIS Maritime server extension into web and mobile applications to support a wide range of activities, including whale alerts, wind energy development, search and rescue operations, and marine conservation.   Download the slides Help Esri influence the direction of our maritime products Interested in geo-enabling your hydrographic (specifically bathymetric) data for efficient data exploration and modeling in a GIS environment?
