Environment

• What is JCONSOLE and How to connect remote or local JDG instance via JCONSOLE ?

Resolution

• JConsole is a JMX GUI that allows a user to connect to a JVM locally or remotely to monitor the JVM, MBeans and execute operations. Refer to detailed documentation to This content is not included.connect JDG 6 using JCONSOLE.

For JDG 7 :

• Create a Management user using JDG_HOME/bin/add-user.sh.
• Start JConsole using JDG_HOME/bin/jconsole.sh.
• Select the Remote Process option.
• Enter the url for the remote process. The url should look similar to the following: service:jmx:remote+http://IP:9990. Note that IP correlates to the IP address used by the management interface (defined within the JDG configuration). Port 9990 correlates to the management-http socket-binding port.
• Input the Management username and password previously created and connect to the remote JDG process.

Note : If connecting to a local JDG instance (i.e., on the same server as JConsole), the above steps are not necessary. One can just run jconsole.sh and select the JDG process from the Local Process list.
