Configure a JMX Connection to DSE using LCM

Configure a local connection or remote JMX connection to DSE using Lifecycle Manager.

Additional settings are available in jvm8-server.options and jvm11-server.options depending upon the JDK in use.

  1. Click Config Profiles from the Lifecycle Manager navigation menu.

  2. Click the edit icon for the configuration profile you want to edit, or click Add config profile if you have not already added a config profile.

  3. In the Config Profile pane under the Lifecycle Manager section, click jvm-server.options.

    The general settings for configuring JVM options appears.

  4. Scroll down to the JMX pane. Select the jmx-connection-type.

    Select a secure JMX connection type

    The types of JMX connections are as follows:

    • Local JMX - No Authentication (default): Local JMX connection without authentication.

    • Remote JMX - No Authentication (not recommended): Remote JMX connection without authentication. This isn’t recommended because this option allows unauthenticated remote connections to DSE.

    • Remote JMX - DSE Unified Authentication: Remote JMX connection with DSE Unified Authentication. When using DSE Unified Authentication, by default you can access JMX using the username cassandra and the password of the cassandra role from the DSE cluster.

  5. Click Save.

  6. Run a configure job to apply the config profile changes.
