2.3. Manually Importing a JVM Resource

As Section 2.1, “Required JVM Configuration for Discovery” describes, there are only two connection configurations that can be used for a Java process for it to be discovered automatically by the agent. Specifically, those two connection settings both use a Sun management API, for remoting or for attach.

Any Java process can be imported into the inventory manually, even if it does not use the expected configuration for autodiscovery, as long as it enables JMX remoting in a supported form, meaning Sun or IBM remoting.
