Performance Monitor Will Not Work

[Hedge]

The checkbox for Enable Performance Monitoring under the debugging options tab in my CF8 install will not stay checked. Also when I try to use the performance monitor to monitor CF8 it does not work. Any ideas?

[Guest]

Find your cfroot/lib/neo-monitoring.xml file. Open in an editor like wordpad. Find the var monitoringEnabled. The value should be <boolean = "true"/>.
If it is <number>0</number> or something else, update it as above. Save the file and restart CF8.

[Sarge]

The correct location for manually changing the Performance Monitor integration is in cf_root/lib/neo-metrics.xml. Set the string value for the "cfperfmon" variable to true. You will also find the cfstat entry here as well -- also set its string value to true if you want to enable cfstat. The cfstatport variable specifies the port for reporting cfstat metrics -- this is a string value default=7999. For anyone having problems with the "Enable Performance Monitoring" checkbox, do you have the same issue with the "Enable CFSTAT" checkbox?

I am unable to reproduce this behavior with my CF8-Win2K3 install. Our QA team is also unable to reproduce. Are there any further steps for reproduction?

Sarge, are you testing on all versions? On my Developer edition it works, on my Standard edition production box it does not (see my original post from last August).

We have discovered another piece to this. If ColdFusion8 is installed to a server that already has CFMX7 installed, it seems the perfmonitoring works only while CFMX7 is running. Uninstalling CFMX7 breaks perfmonitoring in CF8. The only workaround so far is to re-install coldfusion8 after the CFMX7 uninstall.

Ken, that is exactly my scenario (upgraded CF7 which had PerfMon enabled, then uninstalled 7 to leave just 8 running). Like Hedge I'm reluctant to re-install 8 just for this so I shall try the manual method suggested by Sarge.
Update Except that my cfperfmon value is already true. Oh well, will just have to do without PerfMon I guess

[Hedge]

Tried that but still no luck. In the neo file it still shows true even after the restart but the check box in the admin will not stay checked and the performance monitor still does not work.

What is your version number from the system information page or settings summary?

[Hedge]

8,0,0,176276

[Guest]

what OS?
CF Enterprise or standard?

Windows 2003 Server
CF8 Standard

I am reproducing this now on a win2k3 server. I believe there is an existing bug, similar to this open for CFMX7. I will open a new bug for CF8 if it is not already there.

[Hedge]

How do I find out when this bug has been fixed or track this bug?

Not sure if this helps or not but this was an upgrade from MX7. The performance graphing was working before I removed MX7 I think. Not 100% sure though

[Guest]

I have logged bug 70537 for this. You can search for this bug in the released hot fixes. Search to see if it is listed individually as hf800-70537 or is listed in an upcoming chf (ie., chf800000x.jar) at http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402604

So where are we on this?

[Hedge]

Still waiting on a patch it looks like.

So I turned off ssl and ran on port 80 and guess what it worked. So now I'm wondering if CF is having a problem with my self signed cert. By the way the check box thing still isn't working, but the performance monitor is. Unfortunately, all this does is prove there's an issue with ssl. Where are we on all this? We won't move to CF8 until this bug is fixed.

[Hedge]

I hope they find another way. I'm not thrilled about doing a reinstall on a production server when it took us 5 weeks working with Adobe to get it to install the first time 😞

I have got the same problem:
win03
cf8, hf2
updated from cfmx7 (still on machine but disabled)

xml files are ok.... but perfmon doesn't work!

[Guest]

Engineering has just supplied new DLLs for PerfMon. These will be part of ColdFusion 8.1, which is about to enter beta. I am currently writing a technote which will supply the dlls for ColdFusion 8.0. It should be available in the next few weeks. If you need them urgently you can email me. Remember your neo-metrics.xml must be correctly setup as in Sarge's entry to this thread. cfstatport=7999 (not = 1) and

Ken,

Do you know if any CFDOCUMENT issues will be addressed in CF 8.1? We're encountering a lot issues with CF generated PDFs that are causing our financial reports to look bad.

Erik,
CFDocument is a totally different issue that is better discussed in a new thread.

However, there is the cfdocument cumulative hotfix. Have you tried it. There will be an update to this hot fix and CFMX7.02's version by end of January 2007. The CF8 fixes will be part of CF8.1.

[Coos]

Ken,

Yes, I had the cfdocument cumulative hotfix installed but I still have many formatting problems. I started one thread but it hasn't been answered. Others have started threads but they have not been answered or solved:

Should I start new threads based on the same issues people have already described? Or should I submit more bugs, or should I call Adobe support (we have a bunch of enterprise licenses and support plans) ? This is preventing us from upgrading all of our servers to CF8.

Erik

[Guest]

Thanks Coos. I emailed your listed email account. Let me know if you would like to try the new cumulative. It should post next month to the existing technote.

Again, these are user forums. You can post, but should not assume answers will come or even a response from Adobe. So, if you want to speak to support and have support plans already, that is the way to go.
