Release Notes 4.10

User interactions: Support for Esri Web Experience Builder

ArcGIS Experience Builder is the no-code/low-code application platform of ArcGIS. With this version, service.monitor supports integration with the created Experiences for the first time in order to gain initial insights into user interactions with the apps.

The following events are currently recorded:

Application start

Home button click

Map node update

User interactions: Data processing via Elastic Ingest

The Logstash pipeline for processing map.apps-based user interactions has been replaced by an equivalent Elastic Ingest pipeline. The installation and operation of Logstash is therefore only necessary in exceptional cases (data transfer from con terra application logs via Apache Log4J).

Python APIs - Improvements

The Python APIs for setting up and querying FME data have been harmonized in terms of their third-party dependencies (libraries). All dependent libraries are now also part of the delivery, which facilitates installation in environments decoupled from the Internet. FME Flow instances can now also be queried via Foward proxies, thus supporting more complex infrastructural setups.

Dashboards - Improvements

The ArcGIS and FME dashboards have received some updates and new diagrams. Of particular interest is a diagram for visualizing the success of the le

If you skip several versions during the update, please also follow all update notes of the intervening versions.
General notes on updating service.monitor.

Configuration changes

New properties concerning the connection between /monitor-analytics and Elasticsearch

User interaction data is no longer sent to Elasticsearch via the Logstash component, but directly to Elastic via HTTP.

analytics.elastic.url

URL to Elasticsearch http endpoint

analytics.elastic.username

Username for authenticating w/ Elasticsearch

Default: elastic

analytics.elastic.password

Password for authenticating w/ Elasticsearch

Discontinued support

Use of the monitor-analytics web application as a “reverse proxy” to Elasticsearch

The web application is only used for the transmission of usage interactions to Elastic and no longer as an interface for executing searches on the stored data. Therefore, this function has now been permanently removed.

Deprecated Features

  • Elasticsearch 7.x (will be replaced by Elastic 8.x)

  • ONLY_AUTHN mode in /monitor web application (integration with security.manager EE)

  • FME Logstash pipelines

  • ArcGIS Logstash pipeline

  • map.apps Logstash pipeline

  • user_agent_parsed field data model will change significantly when upgrading to Elastic 8 compatibility (map.apps data flow)
