How do I install the Java Agent on Cold Fusion?
Install the AppDynamics Java Agent on ColdFusion using either the ColdFusion Administrator Console method, or the ColdFusion .jvm config file method, found below:
Install the Java Agent using the ColdFusion Administrator Console
- Start ColdFusion and access the Administrator Console.
- Expand SERVER SETTINGS in the left side tree, then click Java and JVM.
- In the JVM Arguments text box, add the AD agent entry to the -javaagent argument.
- Click Submit Changes.
Install the Java Agent using the ColdFusion jvm.config file
You can also add the -javaagent argument to jvm.args property in jvm.config file located at <ColdFusion_Install_Dir>\cfusion\bin\jvm.config and restart the ColdFusion.
For example:
shell>>cd C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin
shell> coldfusion.exe restart
Ex: C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\jvm.config
Note: Additional configuration is required for transaction discovery. Refer to AppDynamics Servlet Entry Points documentation
Tips: ColdFusion with Java Agent
- The Java Agent can handle ColdFusion applications that target the JVM. A ColdFusion application, once compiled to Java class files, is not that different from the typical Java app. The agent can identify business transactions, exit points, and so on.
- CfmServlet is detected as entry point on the JRun Server, out of the box. The Agent also has support for mapping ColdfFusion UDF's (User defined Functions) in callgraphs.
