Hello,

For a while now, I can't access server monitoring when I click on the server monitoring button, it sends me this link
This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash and when I click on get flash send me here: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html
Since Adobe no longer supports Flash Player after December 31, 2020 and blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems.


how do I access if the plash player does not work anymore?

 

 

thanks

    Hi,

     

    There are other ways to monitor your CF2016. It is Java and tomcat underneath so you could enable Java options like Java Management Extensions then use Java Mission Control to get insight. An APM tool I am liking at the moment is glowroot. Then there are paid options like FusionReactor or Dynatrace. Those and many others that are available either freely or paid could be of assistance.

     

    HTH, Carl.

    Hi BKBK,

     

    User runs CF2016 (Adobe EOL - think about future). Correct me if I am wrong Performance Monitoring Toolset works with CF2018 and CF2021 so not available to user.

     

    Regards, Carl.

    The short version is, you can't. Flash Player is dead. Adobe had no idea that this would happen back in 2016 or whenever, and nothing is supported forever.

     

    The longer version is that there are open-source Flash Player variants out there, but (a) they only run on Linux, and (b) I have no idea whether they will run this specific Flash app.
