ArcGIS Monitor records events that occur, and any errors associated with those events, to logs. Logs are an important tool for monitoring and troubleshooting problems with a Monitor deployment. Information in the logs help identify errors and provide context on how to address problems. The logs also include a history of events that occur over time.
For example, the following events are recorded in the logs:
- Setup events, such as authorizing the software and creating the configuration store
- General monitoring events such as component registration, observer errors, metric data errors, and so on
- Monitor Agent registration events and errors
- Security events, such as user authentication, creating and changing user roles, updating HTTP and HTTPS settings, and importing and exporting security certificates
- General events, such as restarting ArcGIS Monitor and updating the monitoring process, smtp server, and database configuration
Software installation and upgrade events are not recorded in the logs.
