If you install ColdFusion Server for Windows, you can use the Windows NT Performance Monitor utility to track the performance of your ColdFusion server. This utility installs automatically as part of the ColdFusion Server installation, and works with a set of counters provided by ColdFusion to monitor server performance.
A Windows NT Performance Monitor configuration file, called ColdFusionServer.pmc, is pre-configured and installed automatically to monitor ColdFusion Server activity. You can find the file in the Cfusion\bin.
ColdFusion supports 11 counters that you can enable in the Windows Performance Monitor:
Average database transaction time
Average queue time
Average request time
Bytes incoming per second
Bytes outgoing per second
Database hits per second
Page hits per second
Cache pops per second
Number of queued requests
Number of running requests
Number of timed out requests
To use Performance Monitoring:
Enable performance monitoring on the Debugging Options page. For quick details, see Enable performance monitoring.
Configure the Performance Monitor. For details, see Configure the Performance Monitor.
After you enable and configure the Performance Monitor, you can view performance activity by clicking on the ColdFusion Performance Monitor icon in the ColdFusion Server program group. You can also open the Performance Monitor utility, then open the Cfusion/bin/ColdFusionServer.pmc file.
