.SH SYNOPSIS    

.sp     

.nf     

\fBjconsole\fR [ \fIoptions\fR ] [ connection \&.\&.\&. ]

.fi     

.sp     

.TP     

\fIoptions\fR

The command-line options\&. See Options\&.

.TP     

connection = \fIpid\fR | \fIhost\fR:\fIport\fR | \fIjmxURL\fR

The \f3pid\fR value is 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 \f3jconsole\fR command\&.The \f3host:port\fR values are the name of the host system on which the JVM is running, and the port number specified by the system property \f3com\&.sun\&.management\&.jmxremote\&.port\fR when the JVM was started\&.The \f3jmxUrl\fR value is the address of the JMX agent to be connected to as described in JMXServiceURL\&.

For more information about the \f3connection\fR parameter, see Monitoring and Management Using JMX Technology at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent\&.html

See also the \f3JMXServiceURL\fR class description at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/management/remote/JMXServiceURL\&.html

.SH DESCRIPTION    

The \f3jconsole\fR command starts a graphical console tool that lets you monitor and manage Java applications and virtual machines on a local or remote machine\&.

.br

Does not tile windows initially (for two or more connections)\&.

.TP

-pluginpath \fIplugins\fR

.br

Specifies a list of directories or JAR files to be searched for \f3JConsole\fR plug-ins\&. The \fIplugins\fR path should contain a provider-configuration file named \f3META-INF/services/com\&.sun\&.tools\&.jconsole\&.JConsolePlugin\fR that contains one line for each plug-in\&. The line specifies the fully qualified class name of the class implementing the \f3com\&.sun\&.tools\&.jconsole\&.JConsolePlugin\fR class\&.

.TP
