Chapter 9: Using the ColdFusion Server
Monitor
The ColdFusion Server Monitor lets you track activities on a ColdFusion Server. You can identify information about
the server, including requests, queries, memory usage, and errors. You can start and stop collecting server information
and take snapshots of the server.
To track the status of more than one ColdFusion server, use the Multiserver Monitor.
Gathering information about ColdFusion servers
The Server Monitor and Multiserver Monitor provide information about your ColdFusion servers. Generally, the
information that the Server Monitor provides is more detailed than the information that the Multiserver Monitor
provides. However, the Multiserver Monitor provides a good way to track the status of multiple ColdFusion servers.
The Server Monitor provides information about the following:
•
Requests, queries, sessions, and threads
•
Response time
•
Memory usage
•
Alerts and errors
•
Snapshots of server information
The Multiserver Monitor provides the following information:
•
Requests
•
Response time
•
JVM memory usage
•
Alerts, errors, and time outs
