[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-1594) Document JMX options

["Hari Shreedharan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1594?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13459252#comment-13459252 ] 

Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-1594:
-----------------------------------------

{code} -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false {code}
This will disable security on the jmx remote monitoring and leave a port open on the machine. We must also document the security risk involved. There are ways to keep the port secure, which is documented in the link you posted in the description.

> We should add to the Flume User Guide a section on how to enable JMX, and a sample using JConsole. We can reference this link in the docs too:
>      http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html
> The following sample JVM args (set in flume-env.sh) allow me to successfully use JConsole to monitor a remove Flume agent:
>      JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=5445 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"
