Architectural Overview of MBeans and JMX

Figure: Architectural Overview of the Java Monitoring and Management Support shows the architecture of the monitoring and management support. The JVM is well-equipped for monitoring and management. The platform equipment provides information on performance, resource consumption, and the JVM and logging settings of applications running on the Java platform.

Java Management Extensions (JMX) provide a standard way to connect to the Java runtime environment and applications; the JMX Remote API allows that environment to be accessed remotely. The environment is accessible through the JMX 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 Management Console, can connect to the platform management server and manage the application (as well as the Java platform) using JMX technology.
