Yes, Barry. That's what I was referring to late last week: "On the matter of FR's CP, let's clarify that there are two uses of the CP feature. The first is just to notify you when conditions exceed the limits you mention (like "a request taking more than x seconds", "more than x requests running at once", "less than x% memory available"). If you just have it notifying you by email, that can be very helpful. Indeed, I often recommend it. ... What I really like about the notifications (any of these create) is that they include additional detail like what requests are running at the time, how long, etc. and they include a thread dump: a list of all running requests and a stack trace of each, which helps you see down to the line of code what the request is doing. Again, once you've been shown how to understand those, it can be so valuable to solving problems. I'll be talking about how to get and analyze stack traces for CF requests (with both built-in and third-party tools) as my talk at cf.Objective() in April. Until then, a google search will turn up many discussions of how to get and use stack traces in CF."
So yes, you can get thread dumps from FR on an automated basis. As you note, it's really vital for being able to solve problems when you're not there. And as I noted in that same message, what FR call's "Crash Protection", the CF 8/9 Monitor calls "Alerts", and it too can send you an email with the thread dump (in what it calls a "snapshot"). /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On > Behalf Of BarryC > Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 7:16 PM > To: cfaussie > Subject: [cfaussie] Coldfusion, Taking a thread dump when response > times increase? > > Hi, > > Does anyone know if there is a way to generate a thread dump > automatically when server response times increase?
