Rick, We measure memory on our Windows 2000 server in two ways:
1) logging jrun metrics each minute though jrun.xml: Set metricsEnabled to "true" in jrun.xml and use the following metricsFormat to get a wealth of interesting statistics including total and free memory (works for CF7): <attribute name="metricsFormat">Threads (total/busy/listen/idle): {totalTh}/{busyTh}/{listenTh}/{idleTh}; Sessions (active/inMem): {sessions}/{sessionsInMem}; Memory (total/free): {totalMemory}/{freeMemory}; Requests (handled/delay/dropped): {handledRq}/{delayRq}/{droppedRq}; Service (handledMS/delayMS): {handledMs}/{delayMs}; Bytes (in/out): {bytesIn}/{bytesOut}</attribute> We then use a Windows scheduled task to run a small java parsing app that parses the coldfusion-event.log for high threshholds of memory, threads, or sessions. If threshholds are exceeded, we get an email with the details. 2) Windows performance montoring for CF-agnostic monitoring each minute: We use the Windows performance monitor to record JRUN, IIS, and server processor and memory usage to a CSV file each minute. This is useful for investigating a poorly running machine or retracing why the server crashed.
