Debugging & Logging section You use the Debugging Settings and Debugging IPs pages of the Administrator to configure ColdFusion MX to provide debugging information for every application page requested by a browser. You specify debugging preferences using the pages as follows: • On the Debugging Settings page, select debugging output options. If debugging is enabled, the output appears in block format after normal page output. • On the Debugging IPs page, restrict access to debugging output. If a debugging option is enabled, debugging output is visible to all users by default. This section also includes pages for managing your Log Files, Scheduled Tasks, System Probes, and the Code Compatibility Analyzer. Debugging Settings page The Debugging Settings page provides the following debugging options: Setting Description Enable Debugging Enables the ColdFusion debugging service. Select Debugging Output Format Select a format of: • classic.cfm - The format available in ColdFusion 5 and earlier. It provides a basic view and few browser restrictions. • dockable.cfm - A dockable tree-based debugging panel. For details about the panel and browser restrictions, see the online Help.

The stack trace shows a hierarchical tree of executed templates, includes, modules, and custom tags that were executing at the time of the exception. The default is 5. A blank value or 0 implies no limit. Database Activity Shows the database activity for the SQL Query events and Stored Procedure events in the debugging output. Exception Information Shows all ColdFusion exceptions raised for the request in the debugging output. Tracing Information Shows trace event information in the debugging output.
