JMX Management Example

To run the example, simply type mvn verify from this directory, or mvn -PnoServer verify if you want to start and create the broker manually.

This example shows how to manage ActiveMQ Artemis using JMX over SSL

Example configuration

ActiveMQ Artemis exposes its managed resources by default on the platform MBeanServer.

To access this MBeanServer remotely, add the following to the management.xml configuration:

<connector connector-port="1099" connector-host="localhost"/>

With these properties, ActiveMQ Artemis broker will be manageable remotely using standard JMX URL on port 1099.

The various keystore files are generated using the following commands:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

KEY_PASS=securepass
STORE_PASS=securepass
CA_VALIDITY=365000
VALIDITY=36500
