JConsole

Using JConsole

The JConsole graphical user interface is a monitoring tool that complies to the Java Management Extensions (JMX) specification. JConsole uses the extensive instrumentation of the Java Virtual Machine (Java VM) to provide information about the performance and resource consumption of applications running on the Java platform.

In the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE platform) 6, JConsole has been updated to present the look and feel of the Windows and GNOME desktops (other platforms will present the standard Java graphical look and feel). The screen captures presented in this document were taken from an instance of the interface running on Windows XP.

1) You can use JConsole to monitor both local applications, namely those running on the same system as JConsole, as well as remote applications, namely those running on other systems
2) For monitoring production systems, use remote monitoring
3) Configure your jvm to run with JMX
3) Starting JConsole:
1) Have java Home in ur class path or open ur cmd prompt at C:\bea92\jrockit90_150_06\bin
2) type jconsole [processId] ex: jconsole 7280
4) Start remote JVM
type jconsole hostName:portNum
