jconsole not detecting jboss eap 6.1

Question

We have recently migrated from Jboss 5.0 to Jboss6.1 EAP.

As part of performance monitoring,I want to connect Jconsole to the jboss process. Whenever I try to run jconsole from the standalone server ,it doesnt detect the locally running Jboss process.

Upon some investigation I found that it happens only when I run Jboss as a service. If I run it from the command prompt Jconsole is able to detect Jboss process.

I tried to google and found someone saying that I need to add below to expose Mbeans that are required by Jconsole.

<system-properties>
<property name="org.apache.tomcat.util.ENABLE_MODELER" value="true"/>
</system-properties>

I have added above to standlaone.xml and run jboss as service but jconsole still doesnt detect jboss... Anyone has any clue?

Finally I was able to resolve this issue by doing below:

1. Set the remote connection URL as service:jmx:remoting-jmx://jbossHost:9999

   with the username : admin and password : admin@123

Basically I had to use remoting url instead of trying to find the local running process. Users looking for this issue would find useful at this Jboss forum Link
