Add an ArcGIS counter

ArcGIS counters allow you to track system information for nonfederated servers running ArcGIS Server 10.2 or later and federated servers running ArcGIS Server 10.3 or later. Ensure that you have the primary ArcGIS Server administrator, portal initial administrator, or publisher user credentials and URL before adding ArcGIS counters.

   The Connections view appears.

2. Click Open on the Monitor Server application connection to which you want to add the counter.

   The collection pane appears.

3. In the tree view, expand the collection and monitor service to which you want to add the counter.
4. Click ArcGIS in the tree view to choose it.
5. Right-click ArcGIS and click Add.
6. Expand ArcGIS in the tree view and click New ArcGIS.

   The Config tab appears.

7. Type a name for the counter in the Name text box.
8. Use one of the following samples to add the Site Url:

   https://<Hostname>.<Domain>.com:6443/arcgis
   https://<Hostname>.<Domain>.com/arcgis
   http://<Hostname>.<Domain>.com:6080/arcgis 
   http://<Hostname>.<Domain>.com/arcgis

9. Use one of the following samples to add the Token Url:

   Nonfederated server using GIS Server tier authentication

   https://<hostname>.<domain>.com:6443/arcgis/tokens/generateToken
   http://<hostname>.<domain>.com:6080/arcgis/tokens/generateToken

   Nonfederated server using Windows domain with IIS web adaptor

   https://<Webadaptorhost>.<Domain>.com/webadaptorname/tokens/generateToken

   Federated server using GIS Server tier authentication

   https://<Hostname>.<Domain>.com:7443/arcgis/sharing/generateToken 
   https://<Hostname>.<Domain>.com:7443/arcgis/sharing/rest/generateToken

   Federated server using Windows domain with IIS web adaptor

   https://<WebAdaptorHost>.<Domain>.com/portal/sharing/generateToken
   https://<MyPortalWebAdaptorHost>.<Domain>.com/portal/sharing/rest/generateToken

   Remarque :

   If your organization has a different token path, make sure you enter the correct path.

10. Click Add Credential.

    The Add Credential dialog box appears.
