Using Cloud Director's JMX Service
Each Cloud Director server host exposes a number of MBeans through JMX to allow for operational
management of the server and to provide access to internal statistics.
Access the JMX Service by Using JConsole
You can use any JMX client to access the Cloud Director JMX service. JConsole is an example of a JMX client.
For more information about the MBeans exposed by Cloud Director, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026065.
Prerequisites
The host name of the Cloud Director host to which you connect must be resolvable by DNS using forward and
reverse lookup of the fully-qualified domain name or the unqualified hostname.
Procedure
1 Start JConsole.
2 In the Connection menu, select New Connection.
