Monitoring with JMX console

Recommendation:

We recommend JConsole as a default JMX monitoring tool because it is part of the Java Development Kit (JDK).

JConsole is a JMX-compliant graphical tool capable of monitoring both local and remote Java application. It provides critical insights into the Java application’s health and performance, enabling you to detect and address potential issues efficiently.

To effectively monitor your iObeya platform using JConsole:

1. Start JConsole from the /bin directory of your JDK installation directory.

2. Choose Remote process from the connection options available.

3. Enter the hostname of your iObeya platform along with the port you configured earlier for JMX remote connections

   Note:

   This is different from the iObeya HTTP port.

4. Click on Connect to establish a connection with the JVM of your iObeya platform.

5. Once connected, you can search for the com.iobeya property to access and review all relevant metrics, giving you insights into the performance and health of your platform.

For detailed instructions on using JConsole, refer to the Oracle documentation here.

Note:

As part of maintaining iObeya, you are responsible for establishing a reliable monitoring platform that connects to iObeya via JMX, ensuring continuous oversight and optimal operation of your systems.
