ArcGIS Monitor consists of the following components:
- ArcGIS Monitor Server provides a web interface that serves as the central hub for analyzing monitored environments, configuring monitoring, configuring settings, and managing users and permissions.
- ArcGIS Monitor Agent collects data from registered components on the machine on which it's installed. Data collected by Monitor Agent is sent to the Monitor Server installation to which it's registered for centralized data reporting and analysis.
- The Monitor database repository stores system settings and all data metrics. It is recommended that you create a dedicated database and user for Monitor. Once Monitor Server is connected to the database, it manages the creation of the ArcGIS Monitor Information Model and the maintenance of its schema.
To deploy Monitor, you must install Monitor Server on a single machine. Each machine that contains components that you want to register for monitoring must have Monitor Agent installed. When registering database and Amazon Relational Database Service components, any Monitor Agent machine in the deployment that has access to the resource can be used to register the component. When access to the database host machine is available, it is recommended that you install Monitor Agent on the machine to collect operating system metrics.
