Ah, I see the difference between our configurations. I have not used the apache tag at all, only the HTTP tag to test network performance. Given that you need to set up the Xymon server to access http://your.server.com/server-status?auto I can't why you couldn't use that URL for your HTTP test, which will avoid your ColdFusion tests.

my understanding is that the apache tag should give server performance stats - it does seem to work this way if I don't have an http tag also. So you need both - the apache tag for stats, the http tag to test specific URL response. (many of our URL tests actually trigger coldfusion tests)
