What is the best or most commonly used JMX Console / Client [closed]

Answer 1

JRockit Mission Control is becoming Java Mission Control and will be dedicated exclusively to Hotspot. If you are an Oracle customer, you can download the 5.x versions of Java Mission Control from MOS (My Oracle Support). Java Mission Control will eventually be released together with the Oracle JDK. The reason it is not yet generally available is that there are some serious limitations, especially when using the Flight Recorder. However, if you are only interested in using the JMX console, you should be golden!

Answer 2

Alternatively, constructing a JMX console yourself doesn't need to be hard. Just plug in Jolokia and create a web page getting the attributes that you're interested in. Admittedly, it doesn't allow you to do trend analysis, but it does allow you to construct something that is really geared towards your purpose.

I constructed something in just a few lines: http://nxt.flotsam.nl/ears-and-eyes.html

Answer 3

I would prefer using JConsole for application monitoring, and it does have graphical view. If you’re using JDK 5.0 or above then it’s the best. Please refer to this using jconsole page for more details.

I have been primarily using it for GC tuning and finding bottlenecks.
