Instrumenting Your Own Java Applications. Monitoring and Management Using a programmatic JMX Client.

The aim of this example is to show the basic features of the JMX technology first by performing operations using a programmatic JMX client.

Start your Main application with the out-of-the-box management agent for remote management enabled (authentication and encryption have been disabled to simplify the example but this is discouraged in production environments)

java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
com.example.Main

Start the JMX client application on a different shell window on the same host

java ntls.jmx.SystemGC
