Configuring and Using the ColdFusion Application Manager, Server Monitor Agent
The ColdFusion Application Manager (CFAM) Server Monitoring Agent (SMA) in ColdFusion 5.0 Enterprise offers the server level functionality of ClusterCATS (CC) without the overhead of a cluster. More specifically, SMA offers probes, alarms and reports, but does not enable the servers to tie into one another as they would in a cluster. SMA also provides an improved dynamic feedback protocol (dfp) agent for integration of Cisco?s Local Director (CLD). This article describes the uses and limitations of the SMA. First it explains how to probe or monitor your web servers and application servers, and then it describes when and how to delegate probing tasks to various selected non-dfp enabled hardware load-balancing devices.
