Esri EAEP2201 Exam - Topic 3 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for Esri's EAEP2201 exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 3

Users are reporting service timeouts and performance issues. The administrator notices that only the minimum number of instances are running during performance spikes. They want to monitor usage trends before adjusting instance settings.

Which action should the administrator perform?

AMonitor Task Manager on each ArcGIS Server machine

BChange the log level to Debug in ArcGIS Server Manager

CCreate a report of server statistics in ArcGIS Server Manager

DEnable Windows Performance Monitor

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To monitor usage patterns, including the number of requests and instances in use, ArcGIS Server provides statistics reports in Server Manager. These reports show peak and average service usage, helping administrators decide how to scale service instance counts.

From ArcGIS Server documentation:

''Use the ArcGIS Server Manager statistics reporting tool to monitor service usage trends over time. This data helps inform adjustments to instance counts.''

Option A gives only raw system metrics, not service-specific insights.

Option B (Debug logs) causes overhead and isn't appropriate for monitoring trends.

Changing the log level to Debug sounds useful, but I feel like that might just complicate things instead of giving us the trends we need.

I remember a practice question where we had to monitor performance issues, and I think enabling Windows Performance Monitor was one of the options.

C) is the way to go, but don't forget to bring some snacks for the server while it's crunching the numbers.

I think we might need to create a report of server statistics in ArcGIS Server Manager, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best first step.

I’m leaning towards monitoring Task Manager, but I recall that it might not give us the comprehensive data we need for long-term trends.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between changing the log level and creating a server statistics report. Can those both provide the usage trends the administrator is looking for?
