## NAME

jconsole - start a graphical console to monitor and manage Java applications

## SYNOPSIS

**jconsole** \[**-interval=***n*\] \[**-notile**\] \[**-plugin** *path*\] \[**-version**\] \[*connection* ... \] \[**-J***input\_arguments*\]

**jconsole** **-help**

## OPTIONS

- **-interval**

  Sets the update interval to **n** seconds (default is 4 seconds).

- **-notile**

  Doesn't tile the windows for two or more connections.

- **-pluginpath *path***

  Specifies the path that **jconsole** uses to look up plug-ins. The plug-in *path* should contain a provider-configuration file named **META-INF/services/com.sun.tools.jconsole.JConsolePlugin** that contains one line for each plug-in. The line specifies the fully qualified class name of the class implementing the **com.sun.tools.jconsole.JConsolePlugin** class.

- **-version**

  Prints the program version.

- ***connection* = *pid* \| *host*:*port* \| *jmxURL***

  A connection is described by either *pid*, *host***:***port* or *jmxURL*.

  - •

    The *pid* value is the process ID of a target process. The JVM must be running with the same user ID as the user ID running the **jconsole** command.

  - •

    The *host***:***port* values are the name of the host system on which the JVM is running, and the port number specified by the system property **com.sun.management.jmxremote.port** when the JVM was started.

  - •

    The *jmxUrl* value is the address of the JMX agent to be connected to as described in JMXServiceURL.

- **-J*input\_arguments***

  Passes *input\_arguments* to the JVM on which the **jconsole** command is run.

- **-help or --help**

  Displays the help message for the command.

## DESCRIPTION

The **jconsole** command starts a graphical console tool that lets you monitor and manage Java applications and virtual machines on a local or remote machine.

On Windows, the **jconsole** command doesn't associate with a console window. It does, however, display a dialog box with error information when the **jconsole** command fails.
