WildFly and JMX

Internal

• WildFly Concepts
• JSR 160 Java Management Extensions (JMX) Remote API
• Enabling JMX Access to a JVM

Overview

Each WildFly instance has a JMX bus with various JMX MBeans plugged in. The JMX MBeans expose management functionality, which can be used in monitoring or operations.

For a WildFly instance running in standalone mode, there is just one JMX bus to access - the one of the standalone instance. However, for a WildFly instance running in domain mode, the procedure to access the JMX bus of the host controller is different from the procedure of to access the JMX bus of the server node.

Procedures

	EAP 6	EAP 7
standalone mode instance	JMX Access to Standalone EAP 6	JMX Access To Standalone EAP 7
domain mode - host controller	JMX Access to EAP 6 Host Controller	JMX Access to EAP 7 Host Controller
domain mode - server node	JMX Access to Domain Mode EAP 6 Server Node	JMX Access to Domain Mode EAP 7 Server Node
