Problem

• How do I enable JMX for API Gateway's embedded ActiveMQ broker?
• Is there another way to monitor embedded ActiveMQ?

Resolution

JMX can be enabled for our embedded ActiveMQ by adding this line to your instance's envSettings.props file.

env.BROKER.USEJMX=true

After restart, you can then use the JMX tool of your choice, like jconsole, to view the ActiveMQ MBean.

Additional information:

1. Use the ActiveMQ JMX beans for read only operations. Use of operations that make changes, like add/remove/purge message(s) is not supported.
2. By default the JVM will only allow local JMX connections. If remote access is needed, you can enable it; for a non secure example see KB 16394. Please use security appropriate for your environment.
