Configuring Remote Access to MBean Servers

You must have remote access to your MBean Servers to collect data. While most application servers provide remote access to their MBean Servers by default, some may require extra configuration to allow JVM data collection.

The following examples provide instructions for enabling remote JMX access on common application servers:

•

Generic JDK5+ Platform MBean Server

•

IBM WebSphere 7

•

•

JBoss EAP 4.3, 5

•

Oracle Application Server (OAS) 10.1.3

•

Oracle WebLogic 10
