ArcGIS GeoEvent Server integrates real-time event-based data streams as data sources in your enterprise GIS (geographic information system). Designed as an extension for ArcGIS Enterprise, the software allows you to filter, process, and send event data to multiple destinations, helping you respond quickly and with informed awareness to any changes. The software is particularly useful for monitoring and analysis.
Key Features
- Data Streaming: ArcGIS GeoEvent Server can consume event data from various real-time data feeds, including tracking assets, monitoring sensors, or following social media feeds, and integrates this with historical data.
- Filtering: The software employs filters and processors to help analysts identify and focus on the most relevant events, locations, and thresholds for their work.
- Real-Time Notifications: Alerts can be automatically sent via emails, texts, or instant messages to key personnel when specified conditions or thresholds are met, enabling rapid decision-making in dynamic situations.
- Data Destinations: Event data can be directed to feature services hosted on ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise, Portal for ArcGIS, or ArcGIS Server, ensuring that maps reflect the most current information.
- Visualizations: View event status using any ArcGIS viewer, including ArcGIS Dashboards. The software also facilitates real-time visualization and monitoring of data, helping create a common operational picture.
- GeoFencing: Leveraging existing feature data, you can geofence areas of interest with the ability to generate geo-fences on-the-fly without disrupting your data stream.
- Archiving and Data Enrichment: Archive event data in feature services, tables, or the spatiotemporal big data store, and enrich incoming events with data from secondary sources
- Connectors: The software includes connectors for common data formats (like text, RSS, JSON, etc.) and data communication channels (such as system files, HTTP, TCP, UDP, etc.). Customized connectors and processors can also be created.
- Deployment Flexibility: ArcGIS GeoEvent Server supports self-hosted, on-premises deployment to accommodate offline or closed networks, providing security-conscious organizations with added flexibility
