Server Down

[AZDeveloper]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if there's a CF tag or function out there that I can use to find out if the server (CF strictly) is down or hanging?

Thank you very much in advance!

How can Coldfusion run the CF tag, when it's down or hanging?

huh?

if the server is down how could a tag run?

best use some sort of monitoring tool, i use Servers Alive which checks stuff
like HTTP requests, the process etc and then emails/IMs me if there's a problem

You can utilize the system probes to verify that your .cfm pages are processing
within a reasonable timeframe. Please see the Live Docs at

Only in ColdFusion Enterprise though!

If the server is down or hung, I couldn't see that that a probe could still
operate! Unless you were using cross instance probes to test another instance
perhasps?
