Snapshots

The Snapshots report lists all snapshots that are triggered. Snapshots include details about the ColdFusion server at the moment the snapshot is triggered. These details include:

• The time and reason the snapshot was triggered

• Whether profiling and memory tracking are enabled

• How many running and queued requests exist at the moment of the snapshot

• Information about memory usage, including:

  • JVM memory usage

  • Server, application, and session scope memory usage

  • Throttle-queue size and memory usage

• Information about cached queries

• Status of the database pool

• The Java stack trace

Snapshots are triggered when one of the following occurs:

• You click Trigger Snapshot on the User Snapshots page of the Server Monitor

• The threshold for either an unresponsive server or a slow server is exceeded

When you click Trigger Snapshot, the Server Monitor collects the information for the snapshot and saves it in a file named snapshot_usrgen_timestamp.txt in the cf_root/logs/snapshots folder. When the Server Monitor creates a snapshot, it saves the information in a file named snapshot_sysgen_timestamp.txt in the cf_root/logs/snapshots folder.
