[cfaussie] FusionReactor vs built in Coldfusion 8 monitor
Hi All we are looking at getting FusionReactor, but will be upgrading from Coldfusion 7 to Coldfusion 8 in several months. How does FusionReactor compare to the Coldfusion 8 monitor tool built in to the CF Administrator, does it provide much on top of the Coldfusion 8 monitor, or is it worth just waiting till we upgrade to Coldfusion 8?

I like Fusionreaactor's ability to kill off processes.. I don't think that is built into 8 or 9.

RE: [cfaussie] FusionReactor vs built in Coldfusion 8 monitor
Barry, to be clear, just upgrading to CF8 won't get you the CF Server Monitor--you do need to be using the Enterprise (or Developer) edition. As for how they compare, no one has done a close analysis (that I know of). I will say that I use both, every day, often on the same server (both my own and those of others): yes, that means that I and others run FusionReactor on CF 8/9 Enterprise/Developer servers. It may seem redundant, but it's not. For instance, FR does tremendous logging. The CF Server Monitor does none. Sometimes, you need to see details of what was happening in the past (such as before a crash, or just hours/days/months ago), and having those FR logs can be vital. They track each request, each query (if such tracking is enabled for a DSN), as well as overall stats every 5 seconds (by default) which high-level counters like number of running/completed requests, number of running/completed queries, memory use, CPU (CF and system), and more. I am also surprised to find that both the memory graph in both the CF Monitor and SeeFusion show the top of the y axis as the amount of *allocated* memory, rather than the max memory (xmx). Of course, if mxs=xmx, then it's not an issue, but for those who do run xmsxmx, the graphs in those other monitors can lead one to think memory is running out, when it's not. All that said, I'm a fan of all three monitoring tools. Each adds something that the other doesn't. My focus here was more on your specific point, about whether a CF 8/9 Enterprise server would benefit from having FR as well. And again, for sure, if you're not going to be running Enterprise, then you will want to consider either FR or SF (or both). I actually run all three (on multiple servers) and have found there to be no negative impact from them, though I realize our inclination would be that any monitoring must cause some overhead. /charlie -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of BarryC Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 5:25 PM To: cfaussie Subject: [cfaussie] FusionReactor vs built in Coldfusion 8 monitor Hi All we are looking at getting FusionReactor, but will be upgrading from Coldfusion 7 to Coldfusion 8 in several months.
