Use the Debugging Options page to select debugging output preferences:
In the ColdFusion Administrator navigation frame, click Server>Debug Options. The Debugging Options page appears.
Select debugging settings as described in the following table:
Option |
Description |
Default |
Enable this option to have the standard NT Performance Monitor application display information about a running ColdFusion Server. On platforms that do not support the NT Performance Monitor, a command line utility, cfstat, displays the same information.
If you disable this option, performance data will not be available in the Server Reports and the Microsoft Performance Monitor. This option also affects the amount of details that will be sent to the SNMP MIB.
Note: Restart the ColdFusion Application Server when you change this setting. |
Enabled | |
Enable CFML Stack Trace |
Enable this option if you want to obtain information to help you trace an error if a CFML structured exception occurs. If you enable this option, CFCATCH.TAGCONTEXT is filled with information about the tags that were executing when ColdFusion detected the exception. |
|
Show Variables |
Enable this option to see the names and values of all CGI, URL, form and cookie variables. |
Disabled |
Show Total Processing Time |
Enable this option to see the time, in milliseconds, it took the ColdFusion Server to process the page request. The detail view shows the time it takes to process each page used to compose the final page. |
Disabled |
Show Detailed Processing Time Breakdown |
Enable this option to see the time it takes to process the page broken out by all the individual pages that were used to create the final page.
Note: Restart the ColdFusion Application Server when you change this setting. |
Disabled |
Show SQL and Data Source Name |
Enable this option to display the data source name and the SQL statement in database query error messages. |
Disabled |
Show Query Information |
Enable this option to display the number of records, processing time and SQL statement for each query executed. |
Disabled |
Display the Template Path in Error Messages |
Enable this option to display the file name of a template. The template file name is useful in debugging. However, use of this option can pose a security hazard because it displays information about a server's file structure. |
Disabled |
Click Submit Changes to save debugging settings.
Notes
When you enable any of these options, debug output becomes visible to all users. However, you can restrict output to selected IP addresses. For details, see Restrict debugging options.
Some settings require you to restart the ColdFusion Server before changes can take affect.
