What tool can be used to manage services published to ArcGIS Server?

The ability to manage services published to ArcGIS Server is a fundamental task for maintaining and optimizing the performance of the GIS infrastructure. ArcGIS Server Manager is specifically designed for this purpose. It provides an intuitive web-based interface that allows administrators to configure, publish, and manage GIS services effectively.

Through ArcGIS Server Manager, users can monitor the status of services, edit service properties, control access and permissions, and view logs and reports to ensure that the services are running optimally. This tool is central to the administration of the ArcGIS Server environment, making it easy to oversee service operations and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

While ArcGIS Pro is primarily used for creating and editing GIS data, and ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise Portal focus more on cloud-based mapping and sharing capabilities, they do not provide the same level of service management as ArcGIS Server Manager. This distinction highlights why the Manager is the tool specifically aimed at managing services published to ArcGIS Server.
