ColdFusion Server 5 provides you with various features for monitoring
and managing your local Web sites. These features include:
Load Management.
By setting load thresholds per server
and/or configuring load balancing devices
you can manage the amount of incoming HTTP traffic to the local Web servers
that comprise your Web site.
Web Application
Monitors (probes). By setting up one
or more ColdFusion probes, you can actively test the health and operation
of your local Web site. ColdFusion offers two
probes for monitoring your Web site: a default probe and a custom
probe. You can use the default probe to test the availability of the ColdFusion
Server, or a specific URL. You can use a custom probe to verify the availability
of other resources that make up your Web site.
Email-based Alarm
Notifications. By setting up alarm
notifications you and others can get instant feedback if one or more
critical events affecting your Web site fail. For
instance, if any device fails, such as the server, load balancing device,
or probe, an alarm is triggered and ColdFusion immediately notifies the
alarm recipient by email.
Easy-to-read Site Management Configuration. By viewing the Server Configuration page, you can at a glance determine the status of your servers and monitoring devices. This page offers an easy-to-read tabular format that identifies all your virtual servers and configured monitoring devices. You can use this page to set individual server thresholds and restrict Cisco Local Director while running DFP mode.
