An AGS Map Service monitoring point checks an ArcGIS Server Map Service to verify that a valid (not blank [white]) image is returned.
The parameters that are unique to the AGS Map Service include:
Server Name
|
DNS name of server where AGS service is located
|
Service Name
|
Name of Rest Map or Image Service on an ArcGIS server. If service is under a folder, name of folder/service is needed.
|
Layers-0,1,2
|
These are the layers in numerical order, starting at 0 (zero), and going up as listed in the ArcServer Rest interface. Enter numbers separated by commas.
Example 0,1,2,3
|
Bounding Box
|
The Bounding Box is used when a scale dependency is utilized within the map service and no image is returned until you are zoomed in.
Bounding Box Example: -70.1,44.695,-69.237,43.969
Notes: Starting at ArcGIS v. 10.1, a Bounding Box is required for this check.
This parameter can be retrieved from the REST interface of the service and
entering the parameters to test. If not available in the Rest interface use
ArcMap® to retrieve coordinates.
|
If your AGS Map Service is secure, use the AGS Secure Map Service monitoring point script.
Obtaining Bounding Box parameters from the REST service is a several step process.
Step 1.1: Open your Internet browser and enter the URL for your ArcGIS® Rest interface
ArcGIS® Rest Services Example:
http://YourServerName/ArcGIS/Rest/Services
Select a Service from your list of ArcGIS® Services

|
Step 1.2: In the bottom left of the browser screen, locate
“Supported Operations “
Click on [Export Map]
An Export Map Image will display in the browser window
|
|
Step 1.3: Copy the Bounding Box |
|
Step 1.4: Paste the Bounding Box information in the field provided
Note: the Bounding Box will be applied to all layers
|
|
Step 2: Click [Create Monitor Point]
Note: Occasionally the Rest interface will not return a bounding box that is needed. When this occurs use ArcMapâ„¢ to establish coordinates of bounding box
