@ArmstKP Thanks for reaching out and asking your question! There are many different ways this could be approached and your analytics could be designed using ArcGIS Velocity. Much of this depends on your goals and desired outputs/outcomes: Do you want to trigger an alert/notification when a plow is plowing a parking lot? (Filter by Geometry tool to notification outputs) Do you want to enrich breadcrumb observations with whether or not a parking lot is being plowed, or also enrich with the parking lot ID associated with each breadcrumb (Join Features tool) Do you want to identify the start and end times, know the event duration, create an event identifier of each "parking lot plowing event"? (Detect Incidents tool) Do you want to know each time a snow plow "dwells" within a certain boundary, likely plowing a parking lot? (Find Dwell Features tool with distance/timespan tolerance) You can do all of the above, or any combination of the above when building up your analytics. Feel free to provide additional details about your desired outcome/output goals. ... View more

@ArmstKP Thanks for your post! From your description, it sounds like you are working in a real-time analytic. At the current production release, Snap to Network is only available in big data analytics. Good news however! The next release of ArcGIS Velocity (3.3, planned for early November this year) adds the Snap to Network tool to real-time analytics. Until then, you could configure a scheduled big data analytic that runs every x minutes to process the output of your real-time analytic and snap the features to your network.

@SimonGIS Thanks for reaching out and for your question! You are correct that this would work best with the "HTTP" output from ArcGIS Velocity. Documentation page here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/iot/disseminate-and-notify/endpoint.htm There are a few required parameters when configuring an HTTP output in Velocity: URL: What is the endpoint that is accepting the HTTP POST operation HTTP Method (coming at next release): Choose between POST/PUT/DELETE At the current release, our HTTP output supports the POST HTTP method. In the coming 3.2 release for late June, we will be adding support for PUT and DELETE HTTP methods as well.  Request Body (optional) Optionally provide a request body of content type JSON, Plain text, XML, or CSV If providing a JSON request body, use the Arcade "Configure expression" interface to build the JSON body You must wrap the JSON expression with the Arcade "Text()" function Content type Specify the request content-type (JSON, Plain text, XML, or CSV) Optionally specify authentication (coming at next release, we will also support OAuth 2.0), URL parameters, and custom headers for your request There are free utilities such as https://webhook.site/ which let you test the HTTP output from ArcGIS Velocity to see exactly what you are sending out of this output. Remember that an HTTP request will be issued for every feature sent to this output, so be sure that your destination resource can handle the number of requests you configure to come from ArcGIS Velocity. Related screenshots: You would need to configure ArcGIS Velocity with the "Request body > Configure expression" to build a request body that can be parsed/understood by your downstream components. In this case, that would be Microsoft Automate. Other users have configured requests with this output that integrate with various 3rd party APIs.  I agree that this would make an intriguing blog post, we will look into that on our end. Please feel free to reply with any follow-up questions! ... View more

@I_AM_ERROR Thanks for reaching out! ArcGIS Velocity trial options and ways to proceed could be provided by your Esri Sales representative. Please reach out to them and they will be able to assist with this process. ... View more

@StefanoAngarano1 Thanks for posting this question! ArcGIS Velocity big data analytics will process all data ingested by your source configurations. To reduce the amount of data being analyzed, you can either use source parameters to only ingest desired features/datasets, or use tools to reduce the data being analyzed in subsequent tools by spatial, temporal, or attribute filters. The Filter by Geometry, Filter by Expression, and Filter by Time Range tools can be configured to reduce the feed or source data based on geometry, Arcade expression, or temporal values If there is an attribute you wish to use to filter the join data, the "join condition" parameter of the Join Features tool can reduce the candidates available for the join based on an expression, thus speeding up performance ...

@Meyer As an update, this was fixed last week with our latest release (2.3). Thanks! ... View more

As an additional update following investigation, we have a fix for this behavior. We are targeting implementation of this fix for mid-next week. In order to support you building your analytics prior to next week, please reach out to Esri Technical Support as they will be able to assist with a workaround of manually populating your desired expression via additional backend configuration mechanisms.

Hi Meyer, this is a great question. Currently, there is no mechanism built-in to the ArcGIS Velocity HTTP Poller feed/source to use the response of a first HTTP Poll to populate the parameters of a second HTTP Poll. This is something we will continue to investigate for enhancement. In the meantime, other users have implemented solutions such as using cloud functions like AWS Lambda or Azure Functions to perform logic-based API polling, and then expose the resulting data to a web URL for the Velocity HTTP Poller, or another endpoint such as AWS IoT, Azure Event Hub, Azure Service Bus, Kafka, MQTT, etc. This could also be achieved with Python. ...

Thank you for raising this issue! We have just recently discovered this issue and believe that it is related to the recent ArcGIS Online upgrade. Investigation is ongoing and a fix will be applied as soon as possible. ... View more

Hi Meyer, thanks for reaching out! I think one of our Esri Technical Support analysts would be in a better position to assist you with this issue and can coordinate with the ArcGIS Velocity operations team for us to investigate and get this resolved quickly. Can you please follow up with Esri Tech Support at support.esri.com or 1-888-377-4575 or support@esri.com. ... View more

Hello! There is not currently a mechanism in ArcGIS Velocity real-time or big data analytics to remove geometry. We will add this as an idea to consider for enhancement in a future release. For many feed and source types, you can choose to simply not configure geometry and therefore ingest tabular records. This is not an option however for Feature Layer feeds/sources, and certain Parquet files. ... View more
