Last update:
May 18, 2026
Disclosure of the UUID to an untrusted party can result in security risks and it is strongly recommended to reset the UUID to restore secure access.
Follow the steps to reset the UUID:

If ColdFusion is configured with Performance Monitoring Toolset

  1. Ensure Performance Monitoring Toolset is up and running.
  2. In ColdFusion installation directory, open the file neo-monitoring.xml in <cf_instance>/lib.
  3. Search <var name='uuid'><string>XXXX</string></var> in the file.
  4. Remove the UUID value, <var name='uuid'><string></string></var>.
  5. Restart ColdFusion.

If ColdFusion is not configured with Performance Monitoring Toolset

  1. Ensure the pmtagent package is installed.
    In ColdFusion installation directory, open the file neo-monitoring.xml in <cf_instance>/lib.
  2. Search <var name='uuid'><string>XXXX</string></var> in the file.
  3. Remove the UUID value, <var name='uuid'><string></string></var>.
  4. Restart ColdFusion.
