Connecting to a Java application using the Health Center client

You can connect the Health Center client to a Java™ application that you want to monitor.

Prerequisite

The JVM in which the Java application is running must have the Health Center agent installed and active. See Installing the Health Center agent and Starting a Java application with the Health Center agent enabled for more information.

Procedure

To connect the Health Center client to a Java application:
  1. Select New Connection from the File menu of an open Health Center client, or start the client. A connection wizard is displayed.
  2. Ensure that you have enabled your application for monitoring then click Next.
  3. Specify the host name and port number. The Health Center makes a connection using these details. The Health Center can scan for open ports on a machine that might have agents waiting for a connection. This behavior is enabled by the Scan next 100 ports for available connections option.
  4. If you require authentication, select the appropriate option and enter a user name and password.
  5. Click Next to find available connections in the host and port range specified. Select a connection from the list of connections found.
  6. Click Finish to connect to the selected host and port.

After the wizard finishes, the Health Center attempts to connect to the host name and port that you specified. A message dialog box notifies you if authentication is required.

If you cannot connect to the application, see the troubleshooting topic: Cannot connect to an application.
