blaze/java/management/mc4j
into the directory<MC4J-Installation>/dashboards
Configuration
You should create a connection with the JVM to be managed. Using the Management->Create Server Connection
menu option. Select the server type to be "J2SE 5. 0". The connection URL should be of the form: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:8999/jmxrmi

You can view all mbeans (BrokerManager, Exchanges, Queues, Connections) under "MBeans->org.apache.qpid"tabular summaries of the queues, exchanges and connections using the Global Dashboards->QPID tree view. To drill down on individual beans you can right click on the bean. This will show any available graphs too.
