Tried with Java 8
1. Add this to your java startup script on tomcat remote-host:
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1616
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=1618
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
2. Execute this on your computer.
- Windows users:
putty.exe -ssh user@remote-host -L 1616:remote-host:1616 -L 1618:remote-host:1618 - Linux and Mac Users:
ssh user@remote-host -L 1616:remote-host:1616 -L 1618:remote-host:1618
This enable jconsole to connect to a remote-host via few ssh tunnels.
3. Open jconsole on your computer
jconsole localhost:1616
4. Have fun!
P.S.: during step 2, using
ssh and -L you specify that the ports 1616 and 1818 on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the remote side.
