Our now famous LogBox: Enterprise Logging Library reaches another step in maturity to version 1.3.  This release includes the following:

Version 1.3

http://coldbox.assembla.com/spaces/coldbox/milestones/187467-logbox-1-3

  • Varscoping issue for DBAppender
  • Varscoping issue for Logger object
  • fix for category inheritance issues on locateCategoryParentLogger thanks to Sean Corfield
  • fixes when declaring appenders and * appenders on XML declarations
  • Add the ability to configure levels of logging on Appenders as a last line of granularity (some nice candy)
Apart from several fixes we managed to squeeze a nice little gem, appender logging affinity. What this gem feature enables you to do is basically also designate a logging severity window for the appenders.  This provides great flexibilty when you want only certain appenders to listen to certain severities.  So all you do now is add a levelMin and levelMax to the appender declarations, whether you are using the LogBox programmatic DSL or the XML.  Of course, all the features and fixes have been documented.  Also, please note that LogBox is embedded in ColdBox 3.0.0 also or can be used via its standalone framework download.

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Many ColdFusion environments operate in a reactive mode without realizing it.

Everything seems fine… until something breaks.

A server crashes.

Performance drops suddenly.

An integration stops working.

A security audit reveals missing patches.

At that point the response is urgent:

“Can someone help us fix this now?”

Emergency support is sometimes unavoidable. But when reactive intervention becomes the norm, it usually means something deep...
