General Information
FusionReactor is an application, database and server Application Performance Monitor – built for monitoring production environments running Java Applications that can run on any J2EE platform that meets the J2EE 1.6 specification or higher e.g. Wildfly, Tomcat, JBoss, Jetty, GlassFish and WebSphere/WebLogic – FusionReactor is recommended for monitoring Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee.
FusionReactor is a Java Agent.
FusionReactor is a HYBRID monitor – it consists of an “On-Premise” and “Cloud” solution. All customers have access to the On-Premise version, the Cloud interface is optional.
FusionReactor has a web-based interface; refer to our system requirements for more information on supported environments.
We offer a 14-day free trial of FusionReactor Cloud. After 14 days, the Trial simply disables itself, without the need to uninstall it. You need to install the same agent as FusionReactor On-Premise and setup a Cloud Account
FusionReactor On-Premise and FusionReactor Cloud
FusionReactor is a HYBRID monitoring solution – which means it has an on-premise and a cloud (SaaS) component. FusionReactor On-Premise has a web based interface which runs locally. The On-Premise version is ALWAYS available when you purchase FusionReactor.
FusionReactor Cloud is available as a service and if you purchase a Cloud license, this license covers the on-premise version of FusionReactor too. FR Cloud also displays the same metrics as you can see on FR On-Premise, but it also includes some additional features, such as additional alerting, traces and access to historical information (up to 90 days in the case of FR Ultimate Cloud).
YES. FusionReactor is a Java application that can run on any J2EE platform that meets the J2EE 1.6 specification or higher e.g. Tomcat, JBoss, Jetty, GlassFish, JRUN. View a complete list of supported platforms and operating systems on our system requirements page.
We offer a wide range of resources and documentation on the FusionReactor product. Please refer to our support area which contains our Knowledge Base and online documentation.
We offer Fusion Premium Support, which is a paid support option and can be purchased on an incident-by-incident basis.
See this documentation if you want to update your FusionReactor.
FusionReactor is an Application Performance Monitor. It captures metrics (instrumentation) as the server is running. It can store many requests online for an immediate diagnostic view of the health of your server. Still, it is not able to provide information about longer-term data (more than approx. 1 week) – this keeps FusionReactor compact and ensures that overhead is kept to an absolute minimum. FusionAnalytics is a visual tool for analyzing the data that FusionReactor has provided.
FusionAnalytics loads the extensive log file data captured by FusionReactor into the FusionAnalytics DB and provides numerous graphs, charts, tables, and reports to visualize the data.
Yes, it is possible to monitor a remote server as long as FusionReactor is installed.
Licensing
Each physical or virtual server requires one FusionReactor license – all of the instances which are installed on that server are covered by the one FusionReactor license. So, if you have (say) 6 physical boxes, then you need 6 licenses. Note that on a single box, you may have multiple instances (JRun, Tomcat, JBoss, ColdFusion) installed on it, but you still only need one license for that (virtual or physical) server. Virtual Machines (VMs) are also classed as separate physical servers and, therefore, require a license.
If you would like to use the FusionReactor Enterprise Dashboard functionality to monitor all the servers from a single window, you will need to install the FusionReactor Enterprise Edition on all the servers you wish to monitor. Therefore, if you would like to monitor 3 servers with the FusionReactor Enterprise Dashboard, you will need 3 FusionReactor Enterprise licenses.
With the advent of FusionReactor Cloud, we’ve changed how we license to accommodate a more flexible model of being able to support static and dynamic server monitoring. What this means is that you will be able to reserve a host (server) for a period of time (month – which is equal to 750 hours). You can think of this as a bucket – which can contain up to 750 hours. If you just have one server using the bucket, then it will fill over time – so that each month, the bucket is filled. If you introduce a second server, which comes online for say 24 hours within the month – then this time will also go into the bucket. When the bucket is full, then (in this case) at the end of the month you would require 24 hours extra time, which would be calculated dynamically and which you would be charged for. The dynamic rate is slightly higher than the regular planned rate.
This will make the model interesting for customers who have (say) 2 static servers and 3 dynamic servers that are coming online frequently, but not permanently – in this case, you could reserve (say) 3 servers and have the 3rd server cover the time for the 3 dynamic servers at the lower rate.
No. You can purchase either the on-premise or Cloud edition, regardless of which version of ColdFusion you wish to monitor.
If you want to move your FusionReactor key to another server, uninstall FusionReactor and re-install it on your new server. You can read more here.
