from one location. From the Server Monitoring page, you can download and install the Server Manager client AIR
application.

Server monitoring enhancements in ColdFusion 9.0
Update 1
Enhancements in ColdFusion 9.0 Update 1 help you use Server Monitoring effectively in load conditions. In
ColdFusion 9 and older releases, Server Monitoring used to be unresponsive when the server load is high. To address
this issue, a new monitoring server has been introduced.
Also, the ColdFusion Administrator has the following monitoring options (ColdFusion Administrator > Server
Monitoring > Monitoring Settings):
• Enable monitoring
• Enable profiling
• Enable memory tracking
Configuring the Server monitoring settings
The monitoring server can be configured in one of the following ways:
• Use ColdFusion Administrator
• Manually edit neo-monitoring.xml and jetty.xml
• Use Admin API (servermonitoring.cfc)
Using the ColdFusion Administrator
The Server Monitoring Settings Page in the ColdFusion Administrator (Server Monitoring > Monitoring Settings) lets
the following configurations:
• Enable monitoring server.
Note: When you enable monitoring server and configure it to use SSL, include the following setting to java.args in the
JVM.config file:
Dcoldfusion.jsafe=true
• Specify the port on which monitoring server listens. The default port is 5500
Note: If a server monitoring application is already running, the configuration mentioned here takes effect only after you
relaunch the application.
