Question

Threads versus Running Requests

Hi guys.  I adminster a mix of MX6, MX7 and version 8 ColdFusion servers.  I know that version 8 has some nice monitoring options included which will allow an admin to see how many CF threads are currently in use, etc.  But I have a need to monitor the number of threads being used concurrently on some of our MX7 servers.  I don't need to do this in real time, however, so I was thinking about setting up some of the CF/jrun performance counters.  I see that there's a counter called "Running Requests" and I'm wondering if this is the same as concurrent threads.  Does anyone know?  I'm aware of a few of the 3rd party CF monitoring tools out there, but I'm trying to avoid spending the money if possible.  Thanks.

    There is a profiler named Stafish by Ray Camden http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2006/1/13/Starfish-ColdFusion-Profiler-Updater

    Thanks for the reply rajeshkc.  I'm not real familiar with profilers, as my CF developers handle the majority of the CF setup and much of the CF-specific administration, but I'll look into this as an option.  With that said, however, is it safe to assume that the "running requests" counter is not equivalent to concurrent threads?
