Monitoring Java™ management extensions (JMX) may seem daunting, but they are completely necessary for application and network management. They connect to remote clients and monitor applications running inside a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

This guide covers the most common issues that arise within a JVM, especially memory leaks. It also provides tips on how to monitor JVMs with JMX.
