Management Console

Apache ActiveMQ Artemis ships by default with a management console. It is powered by Hawt.io.

Its purpose is to expose the Management API via a user friendly web ui.

Login

To access the management console use a browser and go to the URL http://localhost:8161/console.

A login screen will be presented, if your broker is secure, you will need to use a user with admin role, if it is unsecure simply enter any user/password.

Security

That Jolokia JMX-HTTP bridge is secured via a policy file in the broker configuration directory: 'etc/jolokia-access.xml'. The contents of that file should be modified as described in the Jolokia Security Guide. By default the console is locked down to 'localhost', pay particular attention to the 'CORS' restrictions when exposing the console web endpoint over the network.

Console

Once logged in you should be presented with a screen similar to.
