Setting up email from CF for errors (was Re: ColdFusion and SMS Messaging)
So. I want CF to email or message me when there's a problem. Is there a tutorial somewhere on setting up automated email during certain kinds of errors or conditions on the server? -- Austin Govella Grafofini ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Setting up email from CF for errors (was Re: ColdFusion and SMS Messaging)
Austin I do the following for being notified of general errors: 1. In application.cfm CFERROR type=EXCEPTION template=myErrorPage.cfm 2. On myErrorPage.cfm: Basic page stuff with message to user that error has occurred and that the webmaster is being notified of problem. Additionally: A cfmail tag to me (I use HTML so looks better for me to read quickly): including the following in the mail message: An error was recorded on [site name] website: br /br / 1. Error: br#CFError.Diagnostics# hr width=75% ol start=2 liDate/Time: #CFError.DateTime# liTemplate: #CFError.Template# liQueryString: #CFError.QueryString# liRef: #CFError.HttpReferer# liBrowser: #CFError.Browser# liRemote: #CFError.RemoteAddress# /ol Time: #DateFormat(Now(),m/d/yy)# : #TimeFormat(Now(),h:mm tt)# User gets a nice message and I get an instant email. I'm sure there are other ways, but this works for me. (Took the above from a cf5 application. I think I use some minor differences in MX, but not at that machine.) Hope this helps. E.

RE: Setting up email from CF for errors (was Re: ColdFusion and SMS Messaging)
Alternatively you can use a site-wide error handler in CFAdmin to do the same thing. We use a site-wide handler with a pretty message to the user and it sends email to me at the same time. We also use one for 404 errors that's supposed to catch things like broken images and replace them with a clear gif file. These get databased and then sent in a daily 404 digest so we can clean up everything without getting pounded by 404 messages all day.

RE: Setting up email from CF for errors (was Re: ColdFusion and SMS Messaging)
also there are some alarms you can set in the CFADMIN tool that will send an email on failure. Then there are probes you can create too. BTW, I haven't looked this up yet...does CFMX support the probe things in CF5???

RE: Setting up email from CF for errors (was Re: ColdFusion and SMS Messaging)
If your using CFMX you could do something like this in your error template: cfif isdefined(error) cfset logScopes=error,form,attributes,client !--- now loop over the list of scopes to log --- cfloop list=#logScopes# index=i cfoutput cfsavecontent variable=temp #i# Scope VariablesBR cfdump var=#evaluate(i)# BRBR /cfsavecontent /cfoutput !--- append the returned temp dump to the extended error variable --- cfset extendedlogVar=extendedlogVartemp /cfloop And then mail that to the site admin. Make sure you send it as HTML, and you'll get a dump of all vars and the error. Works great for us.
