Configuring JMX and IBM Health Center

Use one of the following procedures:

• To configure JVMs in the JVM startup command

  1. In the JVM profile, specify the following Java properties for each JVM that you want JMX to monitor:

     -Djavax.management.builder.initial= (specify this property for only WAS (WebSphere Application Server) JVMs)
     -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
     -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=<nnnn>
     -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
     -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
     -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<hostName>

     Note

     You must define a unique port number for each JVM that you want to monitor.

• To configure JVMs using your JMX configuration file 

   Click here to expand...

  1. In the JVM startup command, specify the following string:

     -Dcom.sun.management.config.file=<filePath>

     Replace  filePath  with the location of your JMX configuration file (such as /MyDirectory/MyJmxConfigFile ).
     

  2. In your configuration file, specify the following Java properties:

     javax.management.builder.initial= (specify this property for only WAS (WebSphere Application Server) JVMs)
     com.sun.management.jmxremote
     com.sun.management.jmxremote.port=<nnnn>
     com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
     com.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
     java.rmi.server.hostname=<hostName>

     Note

     You must define a unique port number for each JVM that you want to monitor.

     
     

  Tip

  For more information about setting up JMX configuration parameters for different JVM types, see the Knowledge Article 000102079. You can access the Knowledge Base directly at http://www.bmc.com/available/search-kb.html or from the BMC Support Central website (http://www.bmc.com/support). In addition, you can refer to the documentation from your JVM application.

  Note

  To enable collection of CPU consumption data on IBM CICS JVMs, ensure that the following JVM startup option is defined:

  -XX:+EnableCPUMonitor 

  For more information, see the IBM documentation on configuring CICS.
