This example shows how you can combine ArcGIS REST API and ArcGIS geoprocessing functions to read the server logs and construct a feature class containing the extents of all map requests made to the server. This can help you understand spatial patterns of how people are viewing your service.
To use this script, you must first set ArcGIS Server logging to at least the FINE level. Then, after your server has satisfied some map requests from clients, you can run this script to write the requested extents to the feature class. Each logged extent has timestamp information which is also written to the feature class, allowing you to play back the requests in ArcGIS using a time slider.
This script requires an existing file geodatabase. However, it creates the feature class for you.
Custom spatial references (those that cannot be represented with a well-known ID, or wkid) are not handled in this script.
