How to use JConsole to monitor Java apps remotely? (i.e. JMX Monitoring)

Piyal Nanayakkara

I have a java application running on Ubuntu server and I need to do JMX Monitoring using JConsole in my workstation.

What are the changes I need to do in Server level and client level?

I tried it with default settings and I am getting "Connection Failed: non-JRMP server at remote endpoint" error. Please help

Hi @Piyal Nanayakkara ,

You will need to add/append com.sun.management.jmxremote.* to the application you want to connect to. Would you mind sharing which application you will be monitoring so we can provide you with more details on how to set it up?

You could append the following properties to the application you are going to monitor, e.g

JAVA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8123 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

Then connect JConsole to hostname:port

Kind regards,
Rafael

Thanks Rafael.

I am trying to add JMX Monitoring to the JIRA Software version 7.6.11 which runs on an Ubuntu Server and my JConsole runs on Windows10 Enterprise.

So how can I add the given properties to this application? Please provide step by step details.

Hi Rafael

I tried with the steps given. But JConsole remote non secure connection to Jira server fails.

Here is my initial Setenv.sh related section:

CATALINA_OPTS="${GC_JVM_PARAMETERS} ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
export CATALINA_OPTS

Then I modified it as below and restarted Jira Server.

CATALINA_OPTS="${GC_JVM_PARAMETERS} ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8099 ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
export CATALINA_OPTS

In the JConsole (I have it in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162 folder of my workstation), I can see below input fields for Remote access:

- Remote proccess (I provided the JIRA Server IP and port as 8099)

- User name and Password (since jmxremote.authenticate=false, I assumed we dont need to provide the values.- please confirm. If we need to supply it, what are the values we need to give?)

Could you please provide your directions to resolve this?
