Connecting to Glassbox using JMX

The Glassbox UI is a wonderful way for anyone to quickly identify major bottlenecks. It quickly lists out most of the potential problems and even common solutions if any call exceeds the SLA.

But if you want to delve into even more details, you would need to use the excellent set of MBeans provided by Glassbox. If you have a default JMX configuration for your Glassbox installation, the following is the connection string:

service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:7232/GlassboxTroubleshooter

To connect using JConsole, provide this without username and password.

Navigate to Tree->Glassbox->stats in the left pane and click on your application for operations monitored by Glassbox - you may have to perform some activity on your application for the monitors to log anything of course.
