Configuring JMX settings on WebSphere

1. In the admin console (Application server > server1 > Process Definition > JVM), add the following text into the field for Generic JVM Argument, at the beginning of the arg line:

   -Djavax.management.builder.initial= -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote

2. Add or uncomment the following three lines in the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java/jre/lib/management/management.properties file (or <Your WebSphere JRE>/ lib/management/management.properties):

   com.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 //any port you like, but make sure you use this port when you connect 
   com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
   com.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

3. Restart WebSphere.

In each of the plugin files (LiveCycle_Foundation-plugin.xml, LiveCycle_Process-plugin.xml, and LiveCycle_Services-plugin.xml) edit the following section. Change localhost to the IP address of the Agent computer. Change port number 8888 to the JMX port number used for WebSphere.

<property name="PROC_QUERY" value="State.Name.eq=java,Args.*.ct=8888"/> 
<config> 
    <option name="jmx.url" description="JMX URL to MBeanServer" default="service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:8888/jmxrmi"/> 
    <option name="jmx.username" description="JMX username" optional="true" default=""/> 
    <option name="jmx.password" description="JMX password" optional="true" default="" type="secret"/> 
    <option name="process.query" description="PTQL for Java Process" default="State.Name.eq=java,Args.*.ct=8888"/> 
</config>

1. In the LiveCycle_Foundation-plugin.xml file on the Agent computer, insert your JMX user name and JMX password. For example:

   <option name="jmx.username" description="JMX username" optional="true" default="monitorRole"/> 
   <option name="jmx.password" description="JMX password" optional="true" default="admin"/>

2. In the LiveCycle_Process-plugin.xml file on the Agent computer, edit the settings in the PROC_QUERY section to match the setting in the LiveCycle_Foundation-plugin.xml file.

3. In the LiveCycle_Services-plugin.xml file on the Agent computer, edit the settings in the PROC_QUERY section to match the setting in the LiveCycle_Foundation-plugin.xml file.
