Question

CF8 cfthread, server monitor, and active threads

When I run this code: cfthread part III or any cfthread without a thread join and then go to the CF Administrator -> Server Monitor -> Statistics -> Active ColdFusion Threads, I don't see the threads ever going away.

They just build and build everytime I run it. I can get it to go all the way up to 400+ threads and stay there untill I restart Jrun. I think this is a monitor issue because I'd hate to think those threads are tied up and still active.

Thoughts?

    Neo,

    I have noticed the same thing. Now for the odd part. If you click the 'start monitoring' button and then run your thread test, the threads don't appear in the Active Coldfusion Thread report!

    When running our application, I noticed the Coldfusion thread count getting up to 80,000+ threads in the span of a couple of hours. If we can't figure out what is causing this, we are going to downgrade back to CF7

    Since all threads come from a thread pool, there is a upper limit on how many real threads there can ever be in the system.

    It sounds to me like a bug in the monitoring software.

    Just my thoughts.
