FusionReactor is evolving from a locked-in monitoring tool to an open data source. Starting in Q2 2026, the FusionReactor Agent will allow teams to export high-fidelity ColdFusion and Java telemetry to any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend—without a mandatory OpsPilot subscription.
Streamline Your Stack: Export Data to Any OTel Backend
For the first time, you can use FusionReactor’s deep instrumentation—including CFML request transactions and SQL performance—as a data source for your existing observability tools.
- Compatible Backends: Datadog, New Relic, Grafana Cloud, Honeycomb, Splunk, and more.
- The Benefit: Consolidate your monitoring into a single pane of glass without losing the specialized ColdFusion insights only FusionReactor provides.
Reliable, Zero-Config Alerting
The update introduces a built-in email service within the agent. This removes the common friction of SMTP configurations and credential management.
- Native Delivery: Alerts send reliably out of the box.
- Flexibility: While the built-in service simplifies setup, teams can still opt to use their own SMTP infrastructure if preferred.
Choosing Your Path: OTel vs. OpsPilot
While you can now ship data anywhere, the choice depends on your team’s needs for analysis:
- The OTel Path: Ideal for teams that want raw FusionReactor data delivered to their existing centralized dashboard.
- The OpsPilot Path: For teams who want to maximize their data. OpsPilot adds a layer of intelligence, providing automated root-cause analysis, AI-driven anomaly detection, and natural language querying to solve incidents faster.
Why This Matters for ColdFusion Teams
Most generic Java agents fail to capture the nuances of CFML. Historically, accessing this specialized data required using the full FusionReactor platform. This update breaks that dependency, giving DevOps teams the freedom to choose their own backend while maintaining the best instrumentation available for ColdFusion.
