The security settings commonly include authentication and SSL (Secure Socket Layer). Derby attempts to use the JVM's built-in platform MBean server.

What is JMX remote port?

Enables the JMX remote agent and creates a remote JMX connector to listen through the specified port. By default, the SSL, password, and access file properties are used for this connector. It also enables local monitoring as described for the com.

What is JMX and how it works?

JMX technology provides a component-based architecture for developing solutions to monitor and manage your applications, services, and resources. JMX technology is the way to instrument any application or service that was built using Java technology.

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.

What happens if you use a port that is already in use?

If you try to use a port that is already in use, your Java application will fail at startup and throw an ExportException. For development purpose you can pick any port between 49152-65535, as these ports are safer compared to the reserved ports.

What is JMX agent?

The JMX agent is made up of an MBean Server, some agent services, some protocol adapters and connectors. To enable the JMX agent you need to pass in the following system property into the JVM. This property is set by default in the activemq start script.

but Putty send all payload to the port 15666 to your linux machine.

What is the Java process on Linux?

The java process opens a new TCP Port on the linux machine, where the RMI Server-Stubs will be available for download. This port also needs to be available via SSH Tunnel to get a connection to the Java Virtual Machine.

What port is used in step 2?

P.S.: during step 2, using ssh and -L you specify that the port 1616 on the local (client) host must be forwarded to the remote side. This is an ssh tunnel and helps to avoids firewalls or various networks problems.

Does rmi work on Linux?

This must be done exactly like this. If its done like below, it works for linux Machines behind firewalls (It works cause of the -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost argument).

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.

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 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:

Where is the jar for JBoss EAP?

Note, the server specific jar for JBoss AS 7.x and JBoss EAP 6.x is named jboss-client.jar and is present at the same JBOSS_HOME/bin/client directory location.
