Name

GetMetricData — New as of ColdFusion 4.5

Synopsis

GetMetricData(mode)

Depending on mode, returns data representing information about the performance of the ColdFusion server. The following modes may be used by GetMetricData( ):

Perf_Monitor

Returns a ColdFusion structure containing Performance Monitor data (Windows NT) or CFSTAT data (on Unix/Linux). For this mode to work on Windows NT systems, the Enable Performance Monitoring option must be checked in the Debugging section of the ColdFusion Administrator.

Simple_Load

Returns a number representing the load on the server. This number is produced by an internal algorithm based on ColdFusion queue depths.

Prev_Req_Time

Returns a number representing the previous request time in milliseconds. This metric can calculate server load using the formula:

Load (as a percentage) = Prev_Req_Time / Max_Allowable_Response_Time_In_Milliseconds * 100

Avg_Req_Time

Returns a number representing the average request time in milliseconds. This metric can calculate load using the formula:

Load (as a percentage) = Avg_Req_Time / Max_Allowable_Response_Time_In_Milliseconds * 100

The following example demonstrates the four modes available to the GetMetricData( ) function:

<CFSET PerformanceMonitoring = GetMetricData("Perf_monitor")> <CFSET Load = GetMetricData("Simple_Load")> <CFSET PreviousRequestTime = GetMetricData("Prev_Req_Time")> <CFSET AverageRequestTime = GetMetricData("Avg_Req_Time")> <CFOUTPUT> Load: #Load#<BR> Previous Request Time: #PreviousRequestTime#<BR> ...

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
