Monitoring JVM on remote host

To monitor JVM on remote host:

        -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9876
        -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
        -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
  2. Press the button Add JVM Connection on Remote Host [] on JVM Explorer to open New JVM Cpnnection dialog.

  3. Enter the remote hostname (or IP address) and port number.

    Note: Alternatively, you can enter JMX URL.

  4. If you set password when starting JVM, enter also the user name and password.
