Resolution: The Java JDK 1.5 includes the jconsole tool. Jconsole provides interactive performance and resource monitoring of the JVM and applications running on it.
To use this tool with GridServer you must be using version 4.2 or higher with JDK 1.5 or higher. This tool is not recommended for use on production machines.
The following steps will enable you to locally monitor the GridServer JVM:
1. With GridServer off, set the com.sun.management.jmxremote system property, for example using -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote 2. Start GridServer. 3. Launch jconsole, which is located in $JDK_HOME/bin/jconsole. In the subsequent connection dialog box, select the GridServer instance you wish to monitor.
