Cold Fusion 2018 CAR Archive Build "Metrics Service is not available"

[tz9xx4]

We just upgraded to ColdFusion 2018.

When we go to create a CAR archive, we get the following error and the CAR file is not create.

"Error","","06/24/20","09:09:44",,"The metrics service is not available."

If we deselect All in the server settings , we are able to create CAR.

Any ideas what is causing this error?

Thanks,

Mark

Well that's an odd one. I would normally propose that whenever I saw an error about the "metrics service", I would be concerned first if there was any error in the CF logs at startup (see espeically the colfusion-out.log and colfusion-error.log). Then second, I would be concerned that perhaps there was an error in applying whatever most recent CF update was applied. For more on that, see my post here: https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/03/problems-applying-cf-update-check-first/

But when you say it ONLY happens if you don't select ALL for the CAR mechanism, that is indeed a new one. And while I STILL think the above apply (and may help you find the real root cause), if they do not, I would propose that the next thing would be to find out WHICH of the options you do NOT check cause this.

I realize you may find that too tedious to bother, but I just suggest it as something to try if you're willing. Again, it may then give a clue as to where the real problem is.

If you want to instead just leave this question here as-is (not trying anything), to see if Adobe or anyone else may reply, I'll understand (but I am not too hopeful that there's some "known issue", given how I've never seen it before--and I live in these forums and also help folks directly with CF troubleshooting daily, in my work).

I for one am really looking forward to hearing how things go with this. 🙂

Mark, what do you mean by "deselect All in the server settings"? Some of the server settings are numbers.
