Introduction

This guide provides a reference for JMX methods included in the UCMDB documentation. Many UCMDB actions can be performed from the JMX console. You can search the JMX Quick Search page for JMX methods as described below.

UCMDB JMX Console

1. On the UCMDB server, launch the Web browser and enter the following address: https://localhost:8443/jmx-console.

   Note Starting with version 10.30, access to the JMX console is restricted to localhost only. If you need to access the JMX console remotely, see How to Enable Remote Access to the JMX Console.

2. Enter the JMX console authentication credentials (Login name = sysadmin).

   The UCMDB JMX Quick Search page opens. There are three ways to access a JMX operation from the JMX home page.

   • Use the JMX quick search

     The JMX quick search feature provides the ability to:

     • Search for a service. This is useful when you know that an operation is in a certain service category, but you do not know the name of the operation.

     • Search for a JMX operation based on a keyword

       • Keywords can be an operation name, the description of the operation, or even the parameters used by the operation.
       • When typing, a suggestion list is displayed, providing links to quickly access suggested methods.

     • Search and access a UCMDB server log from the JMX console

       • Typing the word log: in the search text displays a suggestion list with all the logs that contain the search word.
       • Clicking one of the suggested logs redirects to a new page displaying the full content of the log.

   • Use the UCMDB JMX link

     Do the following:

     1. Click the UCMDB JMX link to open the console.
     2. Locate the required service and click the link to open the operations page.
     3. Select the required operation.

   • Use the JMX Operations Index link

     Do the following:

     1. Click the UCMDB JMX Operations Index link to open the console operation index.
     2. Go directly to the required method and select it.

Data Flow Probe JMX Console

1. On the probe machine, launch the Web browser and enter the following address: https://localhost:8453.

   Note  

   • Starting with version 10.31, the HTTPS port 8453 is enabled by default for the Probe JMX console. For more information, see Using HTTPS Port 8453 as Default for Data Flow Probe.
   • In FIPS mode, you may not be able to log in to the Data Flow Probe JMX Console using some of the latest versions of Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox. And when using these browsers you may get “Unsupported Cipher” error message. For workaround, see Troubleshooting - FIPS Deployment.

2. Enter the JMX console authentication credentials (default username sysadmin):

   The Data Flow Probe JMX Quick Search page opens.

   To search for a JMX method, enter a method name or part of a method name in the search box. The search results display all methods containing the search phrase.

3. Click the Data Flow Probe JMX link to open the console. Locate the required service and click the link to open the operations page. Select the required operation.

4. Click the Data Flow Probe Operations Index link to open the console operation index. Go directly to the required method and select it.

Change the JMX Console Password

1. Log in to UCMDB with an administrator account and go to Security > Users and Groups.

2. Select the user for the JMX Console login (by default, sysadmin) and click the Reset Password button.

3. In the Reset Password dialog box, enter the new password and confirm it. Click OK.

   Note The default password policy requires the password to include at least one of each of the four following types of characters:

   • Uppercase alphabetic characters
   • Lowercase alphabetic characters
   • Numeric characters
   • Symbol characters ,\:/. _?&%=+-[]()|

   It also requires the password to adhere to the minimum length, which is set by the Password minimum length infrastructure setting.

4. Log out of UCMDB and log in to the JMX Console using the new password.

Configuration Manager JMX Console

There is a separate JMX console for Configuration Manager.

On the Configuration Manager server, enter the following address: http://<server name>:<application_port>/cnc/jmx-console. The port is the port configured during the installation of Configuration Manager.

For details, see the interactive Universal CMDB Deployment Guide.
