7. Leave the Web Server, Pathname, and Working Directory fields as they are unless
you installed ColdFusion to a directory other than the default installation
directory.
8. In the Startup Parameters field, enter the actual URL of the site you want the probe
to access (cabernet.allaireqa.com in the screen above) followed by a text string
that appears on a page within the site you are probing (cfprobe.cfm in the screen
above).
9. Also in the Startup Parameter field, do not modify the RESTART explicit parameter
if you want the probe to automatically restart the ColdFusion Server on detecting
a failure. However, remove it if you do not want ClusterCATS to be able to
automatically restart the ColdFusion Server upon detecting a failure.
10. If you want longer intervals for how often the probe checks the ColdFusion Server
and for how much time can pass without a response from the ColdFusion Server
before a failure is registered, change the Timeout and Frequency values to longer
durations.
Note
Don’t set the Timeout and Frequency interval values too low (below
60 seconds) because if the intervals are extremely narrow, they may
cause the ColdFusion Server to reboot inadvertently (due to network
congestion, for example) rather than detecting an actual failure on
the ColdFusion Server. Allaire recommends you set your Timeout
and Frequency intervals to 120 seconds.
