### To use JConsole for monitoring

For JConsole to work with the Application Server, security has to be disabled for the JMX connector. The current version of the Application Server (SE/EE edition) has security enabled by default.

1. Use the Admin Console to disable security for the JMX Connector. To do this from the Admin Console,

   1. Expand the Node Agent.

   2. Select the Node Agent.

   3. Deselect SSL3 and TLS in JMX tab.

   4. Select Save.

2. Use `asadmin` to disable security for the JMX Connector. To do this from a terminal window or command prompt,

   1. Enter this command:

          asadmin set server.admin-service.jmx-connector.system.security-enabled=false

   2. Restart the domain application server (DAS).

      For the Platform Edition version, the JMX Connector is disabled by default, therefore there is no need to change any configuration for Platform Edition.

3. Start JConsole and enter the JMX URL, user name, and password on the Advanced tab for logging in. The JMX URL is of the form:

   `service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<``your machine name``>:<``port``>/management/rmi-jmx-connector`

   NOTE: You can get the exact JMX URL from the admin `server.log` file if you search for `message ADM1501`.
