Typically, you would run JConsole locally to monitor applications running on a PAS for OpenEdge instance in a development environment. Running JConsole locally to monitor deployed applications on a production server consumes too many resources and would adversely affect performance.
  1. Open a command-line console, navigate to the JDK bin directory (for example cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin), and enter jconsole.exe.
    The JConsole New Connection dialog opens, which should look similar to the following:
    jconsolelocal
  2. Select Local Process.
  3. Select the PAS for OpenEdge process from the list of Java processes.
    The Java Monitoring & Management Console appears.
