Remote monitoring with visualvm and JMX

Question

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

Answer 1

Arnab Biswas's anwser not work in my case. After an hour of researching, I found out that JMX runs on top of RMI, and as such, there are 2 ports that JMX utilizes:

• The JMX connect port. (-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port)
• The (infamously) roaming RMI data port. (-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port)

RMI data port will open a random port start from 1099. By setting the port used by the RMI registry and the RMI server to the same port, tunneling will be much easier.

So I need to add -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=9010 to JVM options

And I need to use the following JVM options :

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=9010 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.59.99
