CFMX 7 Multiserver Conf Performance counters

[dabi123]

Hi,
I am very new to Cold Fusion. I have seen many unreplied posts on ColdFusion
Perfomance....I have CFMX 7 multiserver configuration running on Windows 2003
IIS 6. I was trying to stress test CF applications running in multiserver
environment. However, when I try to add the CF performance objects, I am not
able to add them?? I read some documents and figured out that 'Enable
performance monitoring' option is disabled in j2ee configuration.. From that I
understand that multiserver config is indeed J2EE Config.. In that case how
would I monitor the performance of CF apps running in multiserver
configuration. I can only use LoadRunner for stress testing.. ..Please help!!!!
Thnx

The reason is, as it says in the documentation, that there are no
performance counters for the multiinstance only the standard install.
There are several ways around this including monitoring the JRun thread
from perfmon or using SNMP.

Do this. Edit your Jrun.xml to turn on logging. Then edit your logger
to output all the diffrent performance settings you want and the
collection time. Set the output log to csv. Restart the services. Do
your testing.
When your done look in the logs and you will see CSV's with all your
performance data. You can then do analytics on that if you like.

If you like ill blog something up about this but its pretty simple and
straight forward.

I have searched and searched concerning the ability (or lack there of) to
enable the performance monitoring option. There are a number of posts in the
forums; all sorts of people with similar questions. Can someone from Cold
Fusion PLEASE provide a clear answer on the missing "Enable Performance
Monitoring" option?

If you want to monitor what CF is doing (be it a load test or day-to-day ops),
you're going to need a Java performance monitor instead of Window's counters.
Something like Compuware's Vantage or the basic JVMStat utility Sun created or
even SeeFusion.

Windows cannot look into the JVM to see what is _really_ going on.
