Monitor collects data metrics on an enterprise GIS deployment and provides alerting, notifications, and reporting capabilities. Read the ArcUser<\/em> article\u00a05 Reasons to use ArcGIS Monitor<\/a> to learn more about how Monitor can help with your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment.<\/p>\n This blog is intended for GIS managers and administrators who have installed ArcGIS Monitor. You\u2019ve logged into the ArcGIS Monitor web app and can see the Home page with some open alerts and host metrics charts displayed. What should you do next?<\/p>\n The objective of this blog is to provide a general workflow for setting up ArcGIS Monitor to work with your enterprise GIS deployment. A high-level outline:<\/p>\n Following this general workflow will help you get started with using ArcGIS Monitor to get more insights into your enterprise GIS deployment.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" 1. Register components and set alerts<\/strong><\/p>\n A component<\/em> is any enterprise GIS resource that you register with ArcGIS Monitor so it can collect data metrics on it. Components can include: enterprise portals, ArcGIS Server sites (federated and stand-alone), databases, geodatabases, and host machines. When an ArcGIS Server site is registered, its web services are automatically added as components to Monitor. Monitor can register enterprise GIS resources that are hosted on-premises, on virtual machines, and in Cloud environments. The list of supported GIS resources that can be registered as components is documented here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Components are added via the Monitoring<\/em> tab > Register Component<\/em> button. This activates the Register Component<\/em> wizard and the options shown will vary depending on the component type being registered. Typically, the component registration workflow starts with choosing the type of component. Then, you give the component a name and description. Finally, you specify the connection information ArcGIS Monitor needs to communicate with the component. Detailed steps for registering different component types are available here<\/a>. Registered components will appear in a list on the Monitoring<\/em> tab and can be sorted and filtered.<\/p>\n Side note: As you register components, you can optionally define Labels<\/em> for them. A label is a metadata tag that can help you organize your monitoring environment. Labels can be used to sort and filter the component list on the Monitoring<\/em> tab and they can be leveraged in several of the ArcGIS Monitor expression builder dialogs. A labeling strategy that supports your organization\u2019s structure is strongly recommended. For example, labels could be based on system environments (e.g., dev, staging, production), security posture (e.g., private, public) or business owners (different business units).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2068202,"id":2068202,"title":"Fig1 - MonitoringTab","filename":"Fig1-MonitoringTab.png","filesize":112057,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/monitor\/administration\/getting-started-with-arcgis-monitor\/fig1-monitoringtab","alt":"","author":"5481","description":"","caption":"","name":"fig1-monitoringtab","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2068162,"date":"2023-09-06 16:02:24","modified":"2023-09-06 16:02:24","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1395,"height":773,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":257,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":426,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab.png","large-width":1395,"large-height":773,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab.png","1536x1536-width":1395,"1536x1536-height":773,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab.png","2048x2048-width":1395,"2048x2048-height":773,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab-826x458.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":458,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig1-MonitoringTab.png","wide_image-width":1395,"wide_image-height":773}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" After registering a component, the next step is to set alert rules. Alert rules are threshold values that are set on a component\u2019s metrics. If the value of collected metrics meets the thresholds set, then an alert is opened. Alerts indicate that a component may be in an unhealthy state and requires your attention.<\/p>\n For example, you could set the alert rules on the \u201cRequest Response Time Avg (s)<\/em>\u201d metric of a web service: if the average response time is greater than 5 seconds, open an alert \u2013 because a high response time suggests slow performance for the web service. When the alert is opened and occurs frequently, you could investigate to determine possible causes and thereby improve performance. Three different thresholds can be set for alerts: info<\/em>, warning<\/em>, and critical<\/em> \u2013 each representing a different status; the respective statuses represent increasing severity. ArcGIS Monitor includes default alert rules for some component properties. Other examples of recommended alert rules to set alerts on:<\/p>\n Metrics of different component types are described in the metrics reference<\/a> documentation. Leveraging alerts enable you to proactively manage your enterprise GIS. In other words, alerts can help identify possible issues that affect enterprise GIS health and performance.<\/p>\n On the Monitoring tab, click a component to display more detailed information. Key data metrics for the component are shown as individual data visualizations (e.g., as serial charts). To set alert rules for a data metric, click the More options<\/em> button (located in the upper right corner) > Edit alert rules<\/em>. For example, you could select an ArcGIS Server site in the components list, view its data metrics, for the Request Rate<\/em> parameter, edit its alert rules.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2068222,"id":2068222,"title":"Fig2 - RequestRate","filename":"Fig2-RequestRate.png","filesize":47511,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/monitor\/administration\/getting-started-with-arcgis-monitor\/fig2-requestrate","alt":"","author":"5481","description":"","caption":"","name":"fig2-requestrate","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2068162,"date":"2023-09-06 16:06:15","modified":"2023-09-06 16:06:15","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1044,"height":374,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":166,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":275,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate.png","large-width":1044,"large-height":374,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate.png","1536x1536-width":1044,"1536x1536-height":374,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate.png","2048x2048-width":1044,"2048x2048-height":374,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate-826x296.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":296,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig2-RequestRate.png","wide_image-width":1044,"wide_image-height":374}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" In the Edit Alert Rules<\/em> dialog, you can turn alerting on, specify the aggregation, and customize threshold values for each of the three alert levels.

This step is not required, but might be helpful for reporting purposes. For example, you could create a collection of all components of a certain type, like ArcGIS Server sites or all components that are part of your production environment (e.g., all components labeled as \u201cproduction\u201d). Components that participate in collections are defined by using a SQL-like expression builder. Collections offer a way to organize components dynamically. For example, if you have a collection that contains all registered Windows host machines; when you register a new Windows host, it will automatically be added to the collection.<\/p>\n To define a new collection in ArcGIS Monitor, navigate to the Collections<\/em> tab > Create Collection<\/em> button. The Create Collection<\/em> wizard appears, where you can give the collection a name and description, enable a feature service (optional), and specify the data expression that determines which components will participate in the collection.

Register an email server<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the key capabilities of ArcGIS Monitor is the ability to send notifications. You must first register a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server with ArcGIS Monitor by navigating to Administration<\/em> tab > Email<\/em> setting. Step-by-step instructions can be found in Configure email server settings<\/a>. After an SMTP server is configured, ArcGIS Monitor can start sending email notifications.<\/p>\n 5. Create notifications<\/strong><\/p>\n After registering an email server with ArcGIS Monitor, you can now leverage notifications. A Notification<\/em> represents a specific event or changes to the monitoring environment. For example, you can be notified when a critical alert opens or when a web service stops unexpectedly. This can help you proactively manage your enterprise GIS by making you aware of potential problems early on before they become a bigger issue. There are two types of notifications:<\/p>\n 1. a collection notification \u2013 notifies on the components in a specific collection Navigate to the Administration<\/em> tab > Notifications<\/em> setting. Click +Add Notification<\/em> to configure a new notification. This displays the Add Notification<\/em> wizard where you specify notification type, name, description, events that will trigger the notification, and email and webhook configurations. Detailed steps are provided in Create notifications<\/a>.<\/p>\n For example, you could create a custom notification that triggers when a web service registered for monitoring is stopped:<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2068352,"id":2068352,"title":"Fig11 - Notification 2","filename":"Fig11-Notification-2.png","filesize":38035,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/monitor\/administration\/getting-started-with-arcgis-monitor\/fig11-notification-2","alt":"","author":"5481","description":"","caption":"","name":"fig11-notification-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2068162,"date":"2023-09-06 16:17:56","modified":"2023-09-06 16:17:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":893,"height":550,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2.png","medium-width":424,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":473,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2.png","large-width":893,"large-height":550,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2.png","1536x1536-width":893,"1536x1536-height":550,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2.png","2048x2048-width":893,"2048x2048-height":550,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2-755x465.png","card_image-width":755,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fig11-Notification-2.png","wide_image-width":893,"wide_image-height":550}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" For Subscribe to Events click +Add Event<\/em>, for Configure Event \u2013 Resource Type select \u201cComponents\u201d, and for Operations select \u201cUpdated\u201d.
