JMX (Performance)

The JMX Performance Monitor allows you to monitor any server that supports JMX by requesting a single JMX performance counter the server supports and allows you to easily browse and add available counters to the monitoring list.

Enter the IP address or host name of the target device to browse. You can also click the Browse button (...) to select a device from the device list.
Ensure the Port and Use SSL with RMI Registry settings reflect your selections made in the previous dialog.
If needed, select an existing JMX credential from the list or click the Browse button (...) to access the Credentials Library, then create a new one.
