    How to configure JMX on Apache Tomcat

    Tomcat’s JVM must be executed with these parameters:

    1. -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true

    2. -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8686

    3. -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

    4. -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false

    5. -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=your.server.domain (necessary only for remote JMX connections)

    On UNIX like OS, set environment variable CATALINA_OPTS, for example:

    export CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true
                          -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8686
                          -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
                          -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
                          -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=your.server.domain.com"

    File TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setenv.sh (if it does not exist, you may create it) or TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh

    On Windows, each parameter must be set separately:

    set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true
    set CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8686
    set CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
    set CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
    set CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=your.server.domain

    File TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setenv.bat (if it does not exist, you may create it) or TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.bat

    With these values, you can use the URL service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:8686/jmxrmi for connection to JMX server of JVM. No user/password is needed
