The prerequisites for JMX monitoring include the following items:
  • Java Runtime (JVM) 1.5 or later
  • The JVM application that you want to monitor must have an open port for monitoring
  1. Connecting to a JMX Data Source
    Establish a connection to a Java application server to monitor MBean attributes.
  2. Specifying MBeans for Monitoring

  3. Adding Attributes to the Bean-Attribute Pool
