Using JConsole and Java 5

The Java-2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 release includes a JMX monitoring
tool, JConsole. JConsole monitors applications running on the Java platform and
provides information on their performance and resource consumption. Please see

Note: ServiceMix should be running first!

You need to know the ServiceMix port number and the ServiceMix container id.
By default:

1. Click on the Advanced tab.
   Enter the following in the Form:

JMX URL: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/defaultJBIJMX

Testing JConsole with ServiceMix

To see JConsole in action, start one of the ServiceMix examples running, for instance, the
Basic Example:

cd [servicemix_install_dir]\examples\basic
..\..\bin\servicemix servicemix.xml

Then run JConsole and

To enable JMX remoting with Java 5 on some platforms you need to do this first (e.g. on windows?)the JAVA_OPTS environment variable needs to be set first. There's no need to set this on OS X for sureor Windows:

export JAVA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=5001 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"
