Connecting to Liberty by using JMX
Use this information to access Java™ Management Extensions (JMX) connectors on Liberty. You can also access the secured JMX connector remotely by using SSL.
About this task
There are two JMX connectors supported on Liberty, each connector is enabled through a different
Liberty feature: localConnector-1.0 and restConnector-1.0.
An application deployed on Liberty has unrestricted access to its MBeanServer directory.
A JMX connection to the collective controller enables JMX access to multiple Liberty servers through the same connection. See Setting up the server-management environment for Liberty by using collectives for more information.
Restriction: Do not use JDK options that start with
com.sun.management.jmxremote, which are described in
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html, with the Liberty JMX
support. Those JDK options adversely affect the Liberty MBean registration framework.
