Debugging and monitoring applications overview

As an application developer, one of your most important tasks is to monitor and debug your applications while they are in use. This chapter describes several tools to help you monitor and debug applications:

	The Communication App inspector displays important information about an application instance that is currently running, including log messages, stream data, and application usage statistics. It also lets you unload or reload individual application instances. For more information, see Using the Communication App inspector.
	The NetConnection Debugger lets you monitor debugging events that are related to NetConnection objects. For more information, see Using the NetConnection Debugger.
	`onStatus` event handlers can be invoked by client-side and server-side objects and can provide you with important data about the operation of your applications. For more information, see Using onStatus event handlers.

In addition to these tools, the Administration Console lets you view a variety of information about server responsiveness. It also lets you start and shut down the server, virtual hosts, and applications. For information about the Administration Console, see Managing Flash Communication Server Help.
