A bird's-eye view of PMT architecture and how to harness its true potential

[Saurav_Ghosh]

This session will walk you through everything there is to know about PMT architecture and the configurations to look out for when installing PMT on your systems. Get a deeper look at how data flows in the system and the configuration files where the data is stored. Explore the common customer issues and find out how using archiving can reduce the disk consumption.

Nimit Sharma from the ColdFusion engineering team will take you into a journey of PMT and how PMT can help you monitor your servers.

Hi Nimit,

I am in the process of installing Performance Monitoring Toolset in our test environment. When you talk of the ART score, what does ART stand for? I cannot find the answer anywhere.

Could the ColdFusion Team please sprinkle this in the documentation?

I want to share a couple things (about why this video from 2020 is still valuable), and some challenges you may face trying to view it (and their solutions). I also point to a couple of other useful PMT videos:

1) First, for the sake of those using or considering the PMT, it covers aspects of the architecture (and config files and ip's/machine names and ports/firewalls) that need to be understood to set it up, and for it to run correctly--especially if the PMT and Datastore may be on a different machine(s) from CF itself.

It also covers important troubleshooting, including changing things post-installation if necessary (easy to make mistakes during setup, or if the environment changes).

2) Next, note that though the link above is to a "webinar" that you will find you need to "register" for, once you do register you will be able to view the recording of the video--now and if you return later.

As a heads up, note first that the volume is REALLY high, so be prepared to lower it (in the Connect UI, there's a volume control in the bottom right of the screen).

Also, the actual presentation starts at about 2:15 into it (it was a live webinar, and they started recording during the time they were giving attendees some extra time to arrive), and then runs for about an hour more.

3) Finally, it may interest some to see still other PMT videos from Adobe, such as this 20-min intro (from 2018), this 45 min intro (from 2020), and this 45 min overview of PMT changes in CF2021.

All this is in addition to the several sections of the CF docs about the PMT, starting with the overview. See especially the installing PMT and PMT deployment guide sections. These are not presented in an obvious order in the sections shown on the left of each section, so could be easily missed.
