Web Server Monitoring
The Web Server Configuration page in the ColdFusion Administrator enables you to
easily determine the operating status of your Web servers and configured monitoring
device(s). Use this page to monitor the operating status of each monitoring device,
view and manage incoming server traffic, and to place a Web server in maintenance
mode for necessary repairs. To access this page in the ColdFusion Administrator,
click
Tools > Web Servers .
The easy-to-read tabular form on the Server Configuration page lists the names and
status of the Web servers configured on your local system along with the status of
each threshold setting and monitoring device configured. To learn more about the
information and management controls provided on this page, click Help on the
Server Configuration page.
Note
A monitoring device in ColdFusion can include Server Probes and/or a third-party
hardware load balancing device. The status for these monitoring devices only
appears on the Server Management page after each device is configured in
ColdFusion using the Server Probes page or Hardware Integration page. For more
information about the configuration options required for these monitoring devices
and their benefits, see the sections in this chapter on Server Probes and Hardware
Integration.
