  <p>Monitoring is a key aspect of system administration. Looking inside a

10
     an application are all daily administration tasks.</p>

    <p><strong>Note:</strong> This configuration is needed only if you are
15
    going to monitor Tomcat remotely. It is not needed if you are going
16
    to monitor it locally, using the same user that Tomcat runs with.</p>
17
 
18
    <p>The Oracle website includes the list of options and how to configure
19
    JMX Remote on Java 8:
20
        <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html">
21
        http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html</a>.
22
    </p>
23
    <p>The following is a quick configuration guide for Java 8:</p>
24
    <p>Add the following parameters to <code>setenv.bat</code> script of your
25
    Tomcat (see <a href="RUNNING.txt">RUNNING.txt</a> for details).<br>
26
    <em>Note:</em> This syntax is for Microsoft Windows. The command has
27
    to be on the same line. It is wrapped to be more readable. If Tomcat is
28
    running as a Windows service, use its configuration dialog to set
29
    java options for the service.
30
    For Linux, MacOS, etc, remove <code>"set "</code> from beginning of the
31
    line.
32
    </p>
33
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=%my.jmx.port%
34
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=%my.rmi.port%
35
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
36
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false</code></pre></div>
37
<p>If you don't set <code>com.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port</code> then the
38
JSR 160 JMX-Adaptor will select a port at random which will may it difficult to
39
configure a firewall to allow access.</p>
40
 
41
<p>If you require TLS:</p>
42
    <ol>
43
    <li>change and add this:
44
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=true
45
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.registry.ssl=true
46
</code></pre></div></li>
47
    <li>to configure the protocols and/or cipher suites use:
48
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl.enabled.protocols=%my.jmx.ssl.protocols%
49
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl.enabled.cipher.suites=%my.jmx.cipher.suites%
50
</code></pre></div></li>
51
    <li>to client certificate authentication use:
52
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl.need.client.auth=%my.jmx.ssl.clientauth%</code></pre></div></li>
53
    </ol>
54
<p>If you require authorization (it is strongly recommended that TLS is always
55
used with authentication):</p>
56
    <ol>
57
    <li>change and add this:
58
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true
59
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=../conf/jmxremote.password
60
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=../conf/jmxremote.access</code></pre></div>
61
    </li>
62
    <li>edit the access authorization file <em>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jmxremote.access</em>:
63
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>monitorRole readonly
64
controlRole readwrite</code></pre></div>
65
    </li>
66
    <li>edit the password file <em>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jmxremote.password</em>:
67
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>monitorRole tomcat
68
controlRole tomcat</code></pre></div>
69
    <b>Tip</b>: The password file should be read-only and only accessible by the
70
    operating system user Tomcat is running as.
71
    </li>
72
    <li>Alternatively, you can configure a JAAS login module with:
73
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.login.config=%login.module.name%</code></pre></div></li>
74
    </ol>
75
 
76
<p>If you need to specify a host name to be used in the RMI stubs sent to the
77
client (e.g. because the public host name that must be used to connect is not
78
the same as the local host name) then you can set:</p>
79
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>set CATALINA_OPTS=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname</code></pre></div>
80
 
81
<p>If you need to specify a specific interface for the JMX service to bind to
82
then you can set:</p>
83
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.host</code></pre></div>

  </div><h3 id="Manage_Tomcat_with_JMX_remote_Ant_Tasks">Manage Tomcat with JMX remote Ant Tasks</h3><div class="text">

1080
    <p>
1081
      Tomcat offers an alternative to using remote (or even local) JMX
1082
      connections while still giving you access to everything JMX has to offer:
1083
      Tomcat's
1084
      <a href="api/org/apache/catalina/manager/JMXProxyServlet.html">JMXProxyServlet</a>.
1085
    </p>
1086
 
1087
    <p>
1088
      The JMXProxyServlet allows a client to issue JMX queries via an HTTP
1089
      interface. This technique offers the following advantages over using
1090
      JMX directly from a client program:
1091
    </p>
1092
 
1093
    <ul>
1094
      <li>You don't have to launch a full JVM and make a remote JMX connection
1095
      just to ask for one small piece of data from a running server</li>
1096
      <li>You don't have to know how to work with JMX connections</li>
1097
      <li>You don't need any of the complex configuration covered in the rest
1098
      of this page</li>
1099
      <li>Your client program does not have to be written in Java</li>
1100
    </ul>
1101
 
1102
    <p>
1103
      A perfect example of JMX overkill can be seen in the case of popular
1104
      server-monitoring software such as Nagios or Icinga: if you want to
1105
      monitor 10 items via JMX, you will have to launch 10 JVMs, make 10 JMX
1106
      connections, and then shut them all down every few minutes. With the
1107
      JMXProxyServlet, you can make 10 HTTP connections and be done with it.
1108
    </p>
1109
 
1110
    <p>
1111
      You can find out more information about the JMXProxyServlet in the
1112
      documentation for the
1113
      <a href="manager-howto.html#Using_the_JMX_Proxy_Servlet">Tomcat
1114
      manager</a>.
