Description

We should add to the Flume User Guide a section on how to enable JMX, and a sample using JConsole. We can reference this link in the docs too:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html

The following sample JVM args (set in flume-env.sh) allow me to successfully use JConsole to monitor a remove Flume agent:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=5445 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"
