Can you filter on another attribute? Are the polygons assigned a sequential objectID? Could you filter for the largest (e.g. newest) objectID? Here is a similar example from my own work: I have a Notebook that writes records to an AGOL hosted table. I truncate the data to the 2000 most recent records. This means the oldest record has objectID = 1 and the newest record has objectID = 2000. I use these objectID values to filter data in an ArcGIS Dashboard. Bernie.

Thanks for the response @CodyPatterson. I am aware of the Health Check URL. I was more interested in some guidance on how to implement this on a Windows VM so the script would trigger following a reboot. What language to use? How to force a reboot in a script? etc. I would imagine it should be tricky to force a reboot. Bernie.

Hello, We have three ArcGIS Servers in a site running on Windows Server 2016 VMs. We reboot our ArcGIS Server VMs twice a week on a schedule. We only reboot 1 VM per night. Occassionally, ArcGIS Server fails to start after a reboot and it will get marked "unhealthy" by the web adaptors and it will be excluded from incoming requests. I would like to create a script to test the VM for a healthy ArcGIS Server following a reboot. If an unhealthy state is detected the script should correct the problem, possibly even reboot the VM. Has anyone created a script like this? Thanks, Bernie.

I just watched a recent OGC webinar recording. It clearly laid out the relationship from the old OGC OWS services to the new OGC API standards as shown in the image below: My question is: How do all of the ArcGIS Server services fit into this diagram? We publish map services, feature services, image services, geoprocessing services, and geocoding services. Would it look like this? Please take a copy of the image and correct my mistakes. Thanks, Bernie.

Amanda, That is a great explanation of Esri vector tiles. But wouldn't it be better if customers had a choice? You can have "basic" vector tiles without Portal/AGOL. Or, you can combine vectore tiles with Portal/AGOL and you can also have restyling and .... etc. Bernie.

Add a filter to the dashboard for the regions. The user can set the filter so they only see the relavent data. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/dashboards/latest/get-started/filter-data.htm Or, create one dashboard for each user and apply a different filter in each dashboard. Bernie.

Hello Community, We have been publishing raster tile map services with ArcGIS Server since version 9.3.1. That was 2009 - long before ArcGIS Portal was a product. Portal was not necessary for the publishing of raster tile map services. Why is Portal / ArcGIS Online required for publishing vector tile map services? Why can't my vector tiles live beside their raster tile brothers on a file server? Is there a really good reason for making my map server infrastructure more complex? Thanks, Bernie.

If you know why they are asking for the same feature class in two map services with different coordinate systems you can help the client understand why it is / is not necessary. Perhaps they want a geographic coordinate system for a globe view and a projected coordinate system for a 2D view??

Why do you publish it in two coordinate systems? Is it to ensure accurate measurements? Is it to allow for faster draw times? Here are some thoughts to consider: When you add a map service to an AGOL web map, the map service is reprojected on the fly to the basemap's coordinate system. The ExB Measurement widget uses the ellipsoid-based geodesic calculation to calculate measurements. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/experience-builder/latest/configure-widgets/measurement-widget.htm We only publish in one coordinate system, and it is not Web Mercator. We publish in EPSG 2953, https://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services Bernie.

@IakovosFlorides, Based on your description it is unclear to me if the slowness is caused by the database or by your services. You did not mention the CPU and RAM utilization for your ArcGIS Server. Is there much free RAM and CPU during peak activity? I like @MichaelVolz suggestion. If your users do not need to immediately see the latest changes to the Enterprise geodatabase you can update the feature classess to one or more FGDBs. Then use the FGDBs as the source for your map services / feature services. Create automated scripts that run during slack times to move data from the enterprise geodatabase to the FGDB I get the impression that you have multiple feature classes in your map service / feature service. Are you using dedicated services or a shared pool service? I would recommend publishing the feature classes with the heaviest traffic as their own dedicated service, e.g. one feature class = one service. If you only have a few feature classes you can publish them all this way and assign more instances to the services with higher traffic. If you have a lot of services you can publish some of the lower traffic services in a shared pool. Bernie.

We just completed some special tuning for an event that we knew was going to greatly increase our traffic on one specific map service. We used some rules in Apache to identify incoming traffic for this map service and then split the load 50 / 50 across our 3 PROD servers and 3 TEST servers. Our TEST servers have the same specs as our PROD servers but TEST gets much less traffic. It worked perfectly and we experienced no problems with the additional traffic. We'll undo the special Apache config in a day or two. Bernie.

@RandyBonds_Jr_ , All of those changes will definitely help. Especially moving your highest traffic services to dedicated instances. In my mind, that is the way "dedicated" and "shared" instances are intended to be used. Bernie.

As of 2025-02-15 it is not possible to configure custom units for the ExB Measurement widget. You can't even remove units. In our applications we have no need for inches or square inches. However, we could use "rods" (1 rod = 16.5 ft) and "chains" (1 chain = 15 rods = 66 ft).

We just launched our first ExB app and already our users are asking for this very same functionality in the ExB Draw widget.

Hello, When I see traffic from an ArcGIS Pro client in the Apache web logs on my web adaptor servers I see "Referrer" values like this: Referrer Client http://www.esri.com/5632C003-ECE2-4DB8-BEE2-CC6D08A274A0 ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 (00000000000) - ArcGISPro http://www.esri.com/B313609D-DCA5-4CDD-82CB-F1A014D076C0 ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 (00000000000) - ArcGISPro http://www.esri.com/F466821A-1C7F-43B6-A235-DC1D9C3A5834 ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 (00000000000) - ArcGISPro http://www.esri.com/F9AA4C25-5FBD-42A7-BC18-902C06235782 ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 (00000000000) - ArcGISPro http://www.esri.com/E161FED4-D233-4A69-AF25-5E226CFBD0AE ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 (00000000000) - ArcGISPro http://www.esri.com/15FE3CA5-8646-45DF-97B5-3D0E4B5E2BD2 ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 (00000000000) - ArcGISPro http://www.esri.com/66D35596-3D96-4CA5-BF3B-496C0DB65397 ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 (00000000000) - ArcGISPro http://www.esri.com/A3776C22-90F4-479F-B1ED-17484364CDAA ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 (00000000000) - ArcGISPro Is there any information I can infer from the unique IDs in the Referrer URLs? If I open one of these URLs I just get a 404 error from esri.com. If I search for one of these unique IDs across multiple log files I find that some IDs only appear on one date and some IDs appear across multiple dates. Is this just a unique session ID that is assigned when an ArcGIS Pro user signs in to their Portal / AGOL? Thanks, Bernie.
