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).
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 different enterprise GIS resources with ArcGIS Monitor as components.
View data metrics on your enterprise GIS assets, such as 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.

Hi Derek – is there any space for custom reports etc like the previous version of ArcGIS Monitor? We were always very keen to get the license usage extension configured (but never got around to it).
Hi Steve,
1. Custom reports – You can define query expressions under the Analysis tab, to create custom reports on the metrics you’re interested in, for the components you’re interested in.
2. License usage – This is not currently available in ArcGIS Monitor 2023. We have an open requirement for it. Please submit your feedback and requirements on the Esri Community, under the ArcGIS Monitor Ideas forum.
Hi Derek, is there any kind of SDK to build custom components? I need to monitorize an API and a MongoDB database.
Hi Pablo,
There is an ArcGIS Monitor API – but it is currently undocumented. We expect to have the API documented and available to use in early 2024.
Thanks Derek! I’m really looking forward to work with that. Could the API be available in the early adopter program?
Hi Pablo,
There are no plans to enable the ArcGIS Monitor API in the early adopter program. Sorry.
