What Coldfusion 8 standard edition performance monitoring free tools are available?

Question

The company I work for only has standard edition, and can not afford a pricey monitoring solution. And this is installed on windows 2003, IIS 6, Coldfusion 8.

But we need a way to remotely look at performance of the coldfusion server, since perfmon can not send data remotely.

And we don't want to put in tons of data into sql server, to store and then view remotely.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you for answers, but we only have standard edition, and need solutions for that version.

• ColdFusion Tracker, free, from David Boyer. Access application, session and memory information
• FlexMon CF monitor, free, from Tariq Ahmed (also available at RiaForge)

• FusionReactor, commercial, from Intergral
• Scope Enhancer, free tool from Steve Brownlee. Places java system info into the CF Server scope to assist with monitoring JVM setup.
