Using JConsole to monitor a remote WildFly server

The first thing you need to do is setting up a management user on the remote WildFly server using the add-user.sh/add-user.cmdscript:

What type of user do you wish to add?
a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)
b) Application User (application-users.properties)
(a): a
Enter the details of the new user to add.
Using realm 'ManagementRealm' as discovered from the existing property files.
Username : administrator
Password requirements are listed below. To modify these restrictions edit the add-
user.properties configuration file.
. . . .
Password :
Re-enter Password :
      

Once created the user, startup the remote WildFly server, specifying a management interface IP or host binding:

standalone.bat -Djboss.bind.address.management=192.168.1.78 

Now, on the local machine, locate the jconsole.sh/jconsole.bat script which is in the JBOSS_HOME/bin folder and execute it. You need to specify the http-remoting.jmx protocol, the hostname and the management port which is 9990. For example in our case you need to specify as Remote Process: service:jmx:http-remoting-jmx://192.168.1.78:9990
Next enter the management Username and Password that you have created. 

Click on Connect. We are connected to the remote application server:
