JCONSOLE-OPENJDK11(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

jconsole — starts a graphical console that lets you monitor and manage Java applications. She’s from the Java Troubleshooting, Profiling, Monitoring and Management Tools manual fam, and honestly? Main character energy. 💻✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

jconsole [ options ] [ connection ... ]

• options — the command-line options. Peep OPTIONS below, bestie.
• connection = pid | host:port | jmxURL — how you point jconsole at a JVM. Here’s the tea:
  • pid — the process ID of a local Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The JVM must be running with the same user ID as the user ID running the jconsole command.
  • host:port — the name of the host system on which the JVM is running, and the port number specified by the system property com.sun.management.jmxremote.port when the JVM was started.
  • jmxUrl — the address of the JMX agent to be connected to as described in JMXServiceURL.

For more information about the connection parameter, see Monitoring and Management Using JMX Technology at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html

See also the JMXServiceURL class description at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/management/remote/JMXServiceURL.html

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The jconsole command starts a graphical console tool that lets you monitor and manage Java applications and virtual machines on a local or remote machine. Obsessed, honestly. 🫶

On Windows, the jconsole command does not associate with a console window. It does, however, display a dialog box with error information when the jconsole command fails. Not her being a tiny bit dramatic, but okay 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -interval=n — Sets the update interval to n seconds (default is 4 seconds). Tick tock, bestie ⏰
• -notile — Does not tile windows initially (for two or more connections). No automatic window choreography ✨
• -pluginpath plugins — Specifies a list of directories or JAR files to be searched for JConsole plug-ins. The plugins path should contain a provider-configuration file named META-INF/services/com.sun.tools.jconsole.JConsolePlugin that contains one line for each plug-in. The line specifies the fully qualified class name of the class implementing the com.sun.tools.jconsole.JConsolePlugin class.
• -version — Displays release information and exits. Cute little mic drop 🎤
• -help — Displays a help message. The classic “bestie, read the instructions” moment 🫶
• -Jflag — Passes flag to the JVM on which the jconsole command is run.
