What about using JConsole from a really remote machine, against WildFly?

So far we were using the jconsole tool that was present on the same machine as the WildFly instance, which meant that we have filesystem access to the WildFly server specific jars present in the WildFly installation directory on the filesystem . This allowed us to setup the classpath for jconsole to point to the jar on the local filesystem?

Why isn't the JConsole remote access to WildFly not working?

What could be the reason? Remember, in one of those points earlier, I noted that the "vendor specific protocol" is an interesting bit? We use http-remoting-jmx and that protocol internally relies on certain WildFly/JBoss specific libraries, primarily for remote communication and authentication and authorization. These libraries are WildFly server specific and hence aren't part of the standard Java runtime environment. When you start jconsole, it uses a standard classpath which just has the relevant libraries that are part of the JDK/JRE.

What is JDK in Java?

Java (JDK) comes bundled with the JConsole tool which allows connecting to local or remote Java runtimes which expose the JMX service. The tool is easy to use, all you have to do is run the jconsole command it will show up a graphical menu listing any local Java processes and also an option to specify a remote URL to connect to a remote process:

What is JBoss AS7?

One of the goals of JBoss AS7 was to make it much more secure by default, when compared to previous versions. One of the areas which was directly impacted by this goal was that you could no longer expect the server to expose some service on a port and get access to it without any authentication/authorization. Remember that in previous versions of JBoss AS you could access the JNDI port, the JMX port without any authentication/authorization, as long as those ports were opened for communication remotely. Finer grained authorizations on such ports for communications, in JBoss AS7, allows the server to control who gets to invoke operations over that port.

What is the port number for JBoss EAP?

Note: For JBoss AS 7.x and JBoss EAP 6.x, the vendor specific protocol is remoting-jmx and the port for communication is 9999. So the URL will be service:jmx:remoting-jmx://localhost:9999

Where is jconsole.sh?

That's why WildFly ships such a script. It's in the JBOSS_HOME/bin folder and is called jconsole.sh (and jconsole.bat for Windows). This is just a wrapper script which internally invokes the jconsole tool present in Java JDK, after setting up the classpath appropriately. All you have to do is run:

What is the URL for JMX?

For remote access to JMX, the URL is of the format - service:jmx: [vendor-specific-protocol]:// [host]: [port]. The vendor specific protocol is the interesting bit here. In the case of WildFly that vendor-specific-protocol is http-remoting-jmx.

When to use remote JMX?

You should use this type of connection when you are in the development phase or monitoring your application over a private network. You need to set the following 4 properties to establish the remote JMX Connection.

What is the Sun management.jmxremote.port?

3. com.sun.management.jmxremote.port – As mentioned above, this property is used to set the JMX RMI port for communication.

What is JMX RMI Port and is there any default port?

The JMX RMI port is the port number on which the Java process that you want to monitor listens for incoming connections from the client (Remote management applications) such as JConsole. For monitoring a local Java process, there is no need to specify the JMX RMI port number. But for monitoring a remote process, you need to assign an RMI port number to your Java application.

Why is there no default JMX port number?

There is no default JMX port number due to security and other reasons. If you are starting your application without providing the JMX RMI port number, you will not be able to establish a remote connection because without the port number the JMX agent will not start an RMI connector in your host machine’s JVM.

How to enable authentication?

To enable authentication, you need to create access and password files. The access file contains the username and the role assigned to that user. The two roles are read only and read/write role. These read and read/write role are in relation to the operations that can be performed on the MBeans.

What is the port number for JMX?

For the production environment, be careful to pick up a port between 49152-65535. These ports can be dynamically assigned by the OS to running programs based on their availability. If your application is stopped for a while and in the mean time the JMX port number is assigned to some other service by the OS. Your application will not start at all until the client changes the port number or the port is freed by the current application that is using it.

Where are passwords stored?

The passwords are stored in clear text on the host on which your application is running. Since Secure socket layer (SSL) is not used, an intruder can listen to the non-encrypted communication between the server and client and get the username and password. This is not recommended for production environment.

What is JBossWS console?

The Console, as well as the JMX and JBossWS consoles, are deployed "on-demand" by default. This means that the consoles are deployed when the user requests access.
