Server Thresholds

The Web server threshold value represents the maximum load a server can handle before its performance degrades significantly or becomes unavailable. By default, the peak load threshold for each Web server is 90%.

 

To set the load threshold for a server, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Server Configuration page in the ColdFusion Administrator (by clicking Tools>Web Servers in the navigation frame).

  2. In the Server Configuration page, set a server threshold by locating the address of the server, and clicking the Threshold % text box.

  3. In the Threshold % text box, type the numeric threshold value and press Enter. Note that the numeric value must be between 0 and 100%. This field cannot be left blank.

 

After the threshold is configured and you have alarms configured you will be alerted when the server is overloaded. If you are running ColdFusion with a Cisco Local Director box in DFP mode, the busy threshold will trigger redirection to a less-loaded Web server.
