Viewing JMX Data

Use a JMX client to view data gathered by JMX. JConsole, which is included in the JDK 1.5, is one such client.

Using JConsole Locally

To use JConsole on the same machine your server is running on, set the JAVA_OPTS property as follows:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote

JConsole will connect using the correct PID.

Using JConsole Remotely

To use JConsole remotely, set the JAVA_OPTS property as follows:

• -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9004

• -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false

• -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

• In the jre/lib/management directory, edit jmxremote.access and make sure the following two lines appear uncommented in the file:

  • monitorRole readonly

  • controlRole readwrite

  To see the Identity Manager MBeans, connect to the server with an URL similar to the following:

  service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9004/jmxrmi

Other settings may also be necessary depending on your environment. Refer to the JConsole documentation for more information.

You can also view JMX data by going to the Identity Manager debug page (http://host:port/idm/debug) and clicking the Show MBean Info button.
