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.

-Jinput_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.
