Like SNMP and other management standards, the JMX is a public specification and many vendors of commonly used monitoring products support it. JMX provides a standard way to monitor the Java run-time environment and applications; the JMX Remote API allows that monitoring to be accessed remotely. The tools are accessible through the JMX Managed Bean (MBean) interfaces, which are registered in the management server. Applications can also create their own MBeans and register them in the management server, which can serve as a single point for remote access. A JMX-compliant client, such as the JMX Console, can connect to the platform management server and manage both the Java application and the JVM using JMX technology. See Figure: Overview of the JMX Console.
