Thanks for sharing your thoughts Matt :) To answer your questions about the operating system and Java App Server making a difference. I'm hoping to get CFTracker 3 to provide options for monitoring the server (OS) and any interesting stats that the Java App Server may provide. If I know the common environment for OpenBD, I can try and provide something to cover that rather than spending time digging into every Java app server.
