I just installed CFMX Enterprise and still can't find where I can define
what they call a default probe. Sounds like a different screen than the
System Probe screen. Looking
at the first step, there isn't a Type drop-down list.

Here is what the help file says:

Thanks!

Setting Up a Default Probe

To set up a default probe using the Server Probe Setup page follow these
steps:

In the Type drop-down list box, select default probe then enter a unique
name for that probe in the Name text box.  By default, the probe type is
Default Probe and the probe name is CF Probe. You can choose to keep or
change the default name (CF Probe) specified.

In the URL to Probe text box, specify the URL address you want to the probe
to monitor. By default, this address is
http://<your_server>/btauxdir/cfprobe.cfm. Note that the page you want the
probe to monitor can either be an html page, cfm page, or a jsp page.

In the String to Search text box, enter a text string that appears on the
page specified by the URL. If the success_string includes spaces, it must be
enclosed in quotations marks.

In the Frequency text box, enter a time, in seconds, to indicate how often
the probe verifies the availability of the ColdFusion server. By default,
the frequency value is 60 seconds.

In the TimeOut text box, enter a time, in seconds, to indicate how long the
probe should wait before registering a failure. By default, the timeout
value is 60 seconds.
Warning. Do not set the timeout value to less than 60 seconds, or the
ColdFusion server may restart  inadvertently due to network congestion,
rather than detect an actual failure on the server.

If the probe test fails, choose one or more of the following actions that
you want to occur upon failure.

Apply actions to this Web Server.  Select the name of the Web server that
you want  to apply actions to upon failure. By default this selection is
"none." If you do not choose a Web Server name from the drop-down list box
no action(s) will be applied to a Web server when and if the probe test
fails.

Restrict Web traffic to the selected server. Check this box if you want to
restrict incoming user requests to the Web server.

Execute this file.  If you want to run a program upon failure, specify the
path and name of the program you want to execute.

Restart the ColdFusion Server.  Check  this box if you want to restart the
ColdFusion Server upon failure. By default, this option is enabled
(checked).

Log when ColdFusion Server restarts.  Check this box if you want to log the
event of when the ColdFusion Server restarts.

To proceed, do one of the following:

Click Apply to exit this page and save the probe information specified. The
name of probe created and its status is identified on the ColdFusion page.

Click Cancel to exit this page without saving the
