IBM JDK 7 is missing jstatd. Not able to monitor Java application running on AIX using VisualVM.

Question

I have an enterprise application running on AIX 7 and have installed both IBM JDK 6 and 7 in the server. As per the VisualVM documentation, we need to start the jstatd daemon on the server. This utility is however missing in IBM JDKs. How can I use VisualVM to monitor application running on AIX? Is there any other way to monitor application running on AIX?

Answer 1

You should be able to use JMX connector. Specify the following JVM properties:

com.sun.management.jmxremote.port=3333  
com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
com.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false 
com.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false

and use JMX connection
