About Locally Discovered JRockit JVMs

Using the JVM Browser in the local folder under the Discovered folder, you can see locally discovered JVMs that are running on your computer. With the JRockit Mission Control tools, you can to connect to these JVMs, even though they have not been started with the -Xmanagement option.

Figure: Locally Discovered JRockit JVMs shows how the JVM Browser looks with many locally discovered JVMs.

If you cannot connect to a locally discovered JRockit JVM, it probably means that the JVM is an older version than R27.1 or not Java SE 5.0 or later. It can also mean that the JVM was not started with the -Xmanagment option and the preference setting does not allow the management agent to be started.

To change preferences for locally discovered JRockit JVMs:

1. Click Window then Preferences.

2. Click JRockit Mission Control then Browser Preferences and then Local Preferences.

   The Local Preferences dialog box appears.

3. Select Automatically start the local management agent, if not already started?

   If the option Automatically start the local management agent, if not already started? is turned off (unchecked), then JRockit Mission Control is not able to connect to the JRockit JVMs that are locally discovered, unless they were started with the -Xmanagement option.

4. Click Apply if you want to change something else in the Preference dialog box.

5. Click OK when you finish.
