Enabling/Disabling Z-Ray
This topic describes how to work with Z-Ray's various access modes:
- Enabled Mode - The default mode when launching Zend Server with the development profile. In this mode, Z-Ray collects data for all requests made to the web server.
- Selective Mode - This mode allows secured access to Z-Ray for specific IPs and URLs, and for a specific time duration, and is ideal for production environments.
- Disabled Mode - The default mode when launching Zend Server with on of the two production profiles (Single/Cluster). This mode disables Z-Ray data collection for every page located on your web server. Z-Ray Snapshots for URL Insight however, will not be affected.
This procedure describes how to enable Z-Ray. When in Enabled Mode, Z-Ray collects data for all requests made to the web server. This mode is meant for developers and should not be used in production.
