## 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.
