The AGS Feature Service URL monitoring point checks an ArcGIS Server Feature service for layer data and provides a count of the number of records returned.
The script can be used whether or not you have a non-standard installation.
The parameters that are unique to the AGS Feature Service include:
|
Server Name
|
DNS name of server where AGS is located
|
|
Service Name
|
Name of REST Feature Service on the ArcGIS server. If service is under a folder name of folder service is needed (e.g. Parcels or Assessor/Parcels)
|
|
URL-Complete
|
This parameter can be retrieved from the REST interface of the service.
Copy the parameter from the ‘URL’ in the address bar of the Browser
For example, <your server name>/arcgis/rest/services/<your folder(s)>/FeatureServer/0
|
|
Allow ZeroCount
|
Enter ‘Yes” for services that can return zero records under normal operations
