System Probes page

System probes help you evaluate the status of your ColdFusion applications. Like scheduled tasks, they access a URL at a specified interval, but they can also check for the presence or absence of a string in the URL. If the URL contents are unexpected, or if an error occurred while accessing the URL, the probe can send an e-mail alert to the address specified in the System Probes page. The probe can also execute a script to perform a recovery action, such as restarting the server. All probe actions are logged in logs/probes.log. The System Probes page also displays the status of each probe.

You use the buttons in the Actions column in the System Probes table to perform the following actions:

Action	Description
Edit	Lets you edit the probe.
Run	Runs the probe immediately, even if it was previously disabled.
Enable/Disable	Starts and stops the probe from automatically executing at its specified interval.
Delete	Deletes the probe.

Because probes run as scheduled ColdFusion tasks, they will not run if the ColdFusion MX server on which they are hosted crashes, or if the host web server crashes or otherwise does not respond.
