java - Connecting remote tomcat JMX instance using jConsole

Question

I am trying to connect to a remote tomcat JMX instance using jConsole. But can't connect successfully. Any Idea?

I included the following option in remote tomcat catalina.sh:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote 
    -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9004 
    -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false 
    -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"

Answer 1

I had a similar, if not the same, problem. I could connect to the JMX server if I started jconsole locally on the machine.

It appears the RMI server was not listening on the correct ip. So, as was suggested in this related question, I added the following:

-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<host ip>

to JAVA_OPTS as well, and then it worked.
