Question

CF 9 not showing up in Perfmon. Cannot add CF counters.

Hi,

This is a brand new enterprise install of 64-bit Coldfusion 9 on Windows 2008 server.

Coldfusion Application Server 9 is not showing up as service in windows Reliability and Performance Monitor (perfmon). CFSTAT and Performance Monitoring are enabled inside the CF Admin. When I click on cfstat.bat the command prompt window displays information for a millisecond and then goes away.

I followed recommendations here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404026.html

Is there a solution for this? I cannot add any Coldfusion counters to Perfmon. I am really dependent on perfmon for tracking CF server performance.

    Hi,

    Suggest open a DOS CMD prompt and run CFSTAT from the command line to see “what flashes up”.

    EG:

    -DOS

    -cd \coldfusion9\bin

    -cfstart.bat

    What does it say?

    I know that does not help much with PERFMON however the counters are the same as CFSTAT and maybe whatever the error is for CFSTAT might relate to the CF PERFMON problem.

    HTH, Carl.

    Carl, thanks for your reply.

    This is what I get.

    Pg/Sec  DB/Sec  CP/Sec  Reqs  Reqs  Reqs  AvgQ   AvgReq AvgDB  Bytes  Bytes
    Now Hi  Now Hi  Now Hi  Q'ed  Run'g TO'ed Time   Time   Time   In/Sec Out/Sec
    0   0   0   0   -1  -1  0     0     0     0      -25    0      0      0

    There are some negative values and lots of zeros. Seems pretty buggy.


    Any suggestions?

    Well Sasha I am not real sure I do not use CF PERFMON much myself for performance monitoring preferring JVM logging, CFMetric and CFSTAT in that order. Having said that if you do “CFSTAT 1” it will repeat cfstat at 1 second intervals which might get you by until CF PERFMON is sorted.

    I am configuring a server currently CF9 Ent Win 08r2 and enable CF PERFMON just by way of sanity check and it worked for me.

    So where to with your CF PERFMON? Maybe check neo-metric.xml file:

    <var name='cfstat'>

    <string>true</string>

    </var>

    <var name='cfstatport'>

    <string>7997</string>

    </var>

    What else maybe disable AV, Firewall chance something is getting blocked?

    HTH, Carl.
