Introduction

CfTracker consists of an application and a set of components.

  • Gives you an overview of what’s happening on your Coldfusion server.
  • Information includes applications (settings, scopes, metadata), sessions (scopes, metadata), query cache (sql, parameters, results), threads, memory and other statistics.
  • Applications can be stopped, restarted, refreshed.
  • Sessions can be stopped or refreshed.
  • Query cache items can be purged or refreshed.
• Components (services/cftracker)
  • Can be used independently of the application.
  • Provide all the information used by the application.

Keep in mind there is no audio, since I don’t like my own voice that much

Demo

Should be available soon.  I have completed the code required to run CfTracker in a “demo” mode but haven’t sorted out anywhere to host it yet.

Thoughts

Well I hope everyone finds this useful.  I’ve had some great feedback from previous releases and I’ve tried to include some of those ideas in this release.  There is a roadmap available in the Wiki showing what features I’m planning to add and I’ve made a little bit of progress towards a Railo port.

Thanks to anyone who provided feedback and told me about any bugs with previous versions.

I’d love to hear what you think of this tool and what you’re using it for.

Enjoy!
