I would like to monitor a remotely running java (spring boot) application with jvisualvm (or jconsole). When running locally, I can see the managed beans in both jvisualvm and jconsole. When running remotely I cannot connect. I tried it with several different java processes (e.g. with spring xd). Looking for answers here on SO and on Google did not help.
These are my JAVA_OPTS (on the remote host):
$ echo $JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.59.99
Then I simply start the program as follows (this is for spring xd, but I experience the same problem with other java programs).
$ bin/xd/xd-singlenode
The server process seems to pick up the options:
$ ps -ef | grep single vagrant 22938 19917 99 06:38 pts/2 00:00:03 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8- oracle/jre/bin/java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.59.99 -Dspring.application.name=admin -Dlogging.config=file:/home/vagrant/spring-xd-1.1.0.RELEASE/xd/config///xd-singlenode-logger.properties -Dxd.home=/home/vagrant/spring-xd-1.1.0.RELEASE/xd -Dspring.config.location=file:/home/vagrant/spring-xd-1.1.0.RELEASE/xd/config// -Dxd.config.home=file:/home/vagrant/spring-xd-1.1.0.RELEASE/xd/config// -Dspring.config.name=servers,application -Dxd.module.config.location=file:/home/vagrant/spring-xd-1.1.0.RELEASE/xd/config//modules/ -Dxd.module.config.name=modules -classpath (...)
The java version on the remote host (ubuntu linux vm) is:
$ java -version java version "1.8.0_45" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)
The java version on the local machine (Mac OS) is slightly different:
$ java -version java version "1.8.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b25) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)
In jvisualvm I add the remote connection as follows (tried both with ssl connection and without):
This is the error message jvisualvm gives me:
I can connect from the local host to the remote host with the command telnet 192.168.59.99:9010
, when the remote process is running -- so this does not seem to be a firewall problem.
Any help is highly appreciated.
The JVM software exposed via the JMX connection can now be monitored and managed via Java VisualVM.
Connecting to a Remote Host To add a remote host, right-click the Remote node in the Applications window, choose Add Remote Host and type the host name or IP address in the Add Remote Host dialog box. (You can also specify a display name that will be used to refer to the host when listed under the Remote node.)
The most common way to enable remote JMX access to your JVM is to specify a TCP/IP port number and some basic security settings when you start the JVM. The security settings commonly include authentication and SSL (Secure Socket Layer). Derby attempts to use the JVM's built-in platform MBean server.
There are two ways to connect a remote JVM application to VisualVM: Either using jstatd or Java Management Extensions (JMX). The jstatd program is an RMI server that bundled with the JDK and monitors JVM and provides an interface to allow remote monitoring tools to attach to JVM running on the localhost.
Please use the following JVM options :
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.59.99
In the Jconsole use the following to connect:
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://192.168.59.99:9010/jmxrmi
