JMX enabled Java application appears to open a random high order port when JMX client connects

I have successfully configured a helloworld JMX enabled program, and I can connect to it using jconsole JMX client from a remote location.

When I attempt to turn on iptables I noticed that a random high order port is established when a client logs in. Eventually I would like to monitor Java applications in firewall segregated network segments. Can we control the range the random port opens in?

I'll move this question to serverfault.com if suggested.

回答1:

It's possible to control the port used by RMI. See: http://olegz.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/jmx-connectivity-through-the-firewall/

This requires code and a command-line parameter. There's no way that I know of to do this without code (though the code can obviously be packaged in a different jar).

回答2:

Since Java 7u25 the RMI port can be changed with a system property:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=1234

See this answer for details.

Random third port seems to be expected behavior https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8035404

回答4:

by the way, this third ephemeral port can be controlled too - https://www.paybackblog.de/java-jmx-how-to-finally-control-your-ports/

回答5:

A workaround is to set the RMI port the same as the JMX port; then only that one port needs to be open on the Firewall.

For example:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8989
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=8989
