Monitoring - Enable for your session

Since Lucee 6.1, you can enable debugging directly in Application.cfc. Previously, only <cfsetting showDebugOutput="true|false"> was available.

Note: Be cautious when deploying this to a public-facing server, as it may expose sensitive information about your web server when not used correctly.

Enable/Disable Monitoring

Add this to your Application.cfc:

if (!isNull(url.show) || isNull(session.show)) {
 session.show = url.show ?: true;
}

this.monitoring.showDebug = session.show;
this.monitoring.showDoc = session.show;
this.monitoring.showMetric = session.show;

this.monitoring.debuggingTemplate = session.show;
this.monitoring.debuggingDatabase = session.show;
this.monitoring.debuggingException = session.show;
this.monitoring.debuggingTracing = session.show;
this.monitoring.debuggingDump = session.show;
this.monitoring.debuggingTimer = session.show;
this.monitoring.debuggingImplicitAccess = session.show;
this.monitoring.debuggingThread = session.show;

Activating and Deactivating Debugging

  • Enable: https://yourdomain.com?show=true
  • Disable: https://yourdomain.com?show=false

Enhanced Security

Use a secret URL parameter instead of show:

if (!isNull(url.fsdfsdfdfgdgdfs) || isNull(session.show)) {
 session.show = url.fsdfsdfdfgdgdfs ?: true;
}

  • Enable: https://yourdomain.com?fsdfsdfdfgdgdfs=true
  • Disable: https://yourdomain.com?fsdfsdfdfgdgdfs=false

Only those who know the parameter name can toggle debugging.
