Tweak your CF Debugging Output for better info about queries

Hey folks, if you've ever wished that the CF debugging output had some improvements, did you know you don't need to wait for Adobe to do it?

New (free) tool to assist in configuring FusionReactor datasource monitoring

Note: This blog post is from 2008. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.
Folks using FusionReactor won't want to miss this news. There's a new tool available to help automate the process of configuring CF Admin datasources to be monitored (wrapped) by FusionReactor. What used to be a multi-step manual process is now just a single button.

Check out the JDBC Wrapper Tool. For now it's technically a "community contributed" tool (not in labs, and not from Intergral as a formal product). But it was written by an Intergral employee, Dave Stockton, and the company is very interested in your feedback about it. (Intergral is the company behind FusionReactor and FusionDebug.)

Check out the page for the download, docs, screenshots, a change log, tested databases and CFML server configirations, and more. (And note that it's not just for CF, but is intended to work with others. Railo support is listed coming soon **that's an update from the original post, where I said Railo support was there**.) If you can try it on other DBMSs and CFML servers, they'd welcome that input.

For those who have needed to monitor/wrap datasources, especially many, or on many servers, this is a real gem. Whether you are or not using a supported server, it's worth a few minutes of your time to check things out. I've used it, and it worked great.

For those not sure what this datasource monitoring/wrapping is all about, check out an entry I wrote earlier this year, What is the FusionReactor datasource monitoring feature? Why would I use it? Powerful stuff!. Both that and the docs I link to will give you more info. The datasource monitoring really is really a great tool for troubleshooting and trend analysis.

My coming busy week of speaking engagements at Max

Some folks like to know who's speaking when at conferences, so here's my schedule. It's a busy one, with 2 official Max talks, 2 Unconference talks, 2 Unconference panels, among other things. Here are the times and details.

Two Official Max talks:

Two Unconference talks:

Two Unconference Panels

I also may be giving a talk to an internal Universal Mind mini-conference going on the Saturday before the conference, held for all UM consultants (employees and contractors, like myself. I occasionally do consulting for them.)

So busy week, and that's before attending any sessions, BOFs, and so on! See you there. :-)

CF911: CF 8 Server Monitor reports "ColdFusion Server is unavailable" (solution)

Note: This blog post is from 2008. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.
Here's another entry in my CF911 series. If you try to open the CF8 server monitor and get the error "ColdFusion Server is unavailable", the problem may be in your web server configuration. In this entry, I help you confirm if you're getting the problem I refer to here, and of course I show the solution (3 actually), with a caveat.
