Using the JVM Browser

The JVM Browser is a view that shows the available JVMs that you can monitor, manage, and troubleshoot using Java Mission Control. To connect a tool, right click the JVM on which you want to start the tool and choose the tool you want to use from the context menu.

The JVMs in the browser could be either discovered or manually configured. Manually configuring custom JVMs would be useful if, for instance, you need fine-grained control over the JMXServiceURL or need to set credentials.

By default, there are two types of automatically discovered JVMs: Local and JDP. Locally discovered JVMs are JVMs running on the same machine as Java Mission Control. JDP discovered JVMs are JVMs running on the network with the Java Discovery Protocol running.

The JVM Browser automatically starts when you start the Java Mission Control Client.
