HOW TO
ArcGIS Server performs all its work through the use of active service instances. An instance is executed by a computer process called ArcSOC. One ArcSOC process can manage a single request at a time. In some cases, ArcSOC processes with multiple, simultaneous requests lead to an unstable service environment or performance issues. However, the issue can be managed by monitoring the number of ArcSOC processes on the machine. This article provides the workflow to identify the number of ArcSOC processes in a Windows or Linux environment.
In a Windows environment
tasklist | find "ArcSOC.exe" /c
In a Linux environment
pgrep -c arcsoc
