How to connect to HornetQ using JConsole?

[cinto_qq]

Hi,

I have installed HornetQ 2.0.0.GA on a Linux server, and was trying to connect to it using Jconsole. I am unable to do that.

How can we connect HornetQ from our local pc to view?

Thanks.

Hmmm, let me see.

How about RTFM?

It's automatic:

1. Start HornetQ server

2. Open jconsole on the same machine

3. Connect to the HornetQBootstrapServer process from jconsole dialog window

Hi Jeff,

I am unable to run jconsole from the linux server. I tried to run jconsole from my pc, and then to connect it to the server, but is unable to do that, thus I am not sure if the settings I am using are correct or I need to 'unblock' any ports or sth.

Currently, I am using this setting to connect: "servername:5445", with the default guest username and password. Is this the correct setting to connect to jconsole?

Thanks.

Hi Cinto,

Tim is quite right. Setting up jconsole has nothing to do with HornetQ. I can give you a few general instructions on where to start but you will need to search for specific informations for your specific environment.

1) You need to start the HornetQ JVM instance on the linux box with the following JMX options on your JVM

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=6000 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 

2) You then need to access HornetQ on the linux box from a remote pc using an access URL that looks like....

service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:6000/jmxrmi

Where localhost is swapped out for the IP address for your linux box.

Hi Cinto

Could please help me out with the steps you have undertaken to connect jconsole with hornetq

I am running hornetq as a standalone server and have added

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=6000  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 

to my run.sh

i have tried connecting using

<host>:<port>

as well as

service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<host>:<port>/jmxrmi

in the remote connection field of jconsole, it shows connecting but never connects and fails after some time

infact my hornetq server shows connection established when i run for a brief moment

netstat -at | grep 6000

command.

Thank You
