`--start-local-management-server` is one option as Alan suggests.
Another option is to make `--start-management-agent` to accept
an optional argument. VM can accept `--start-management-agent`
or `--start-management-agent=port=1234,ssl=on`. It may require
more launcher change to support it.
Yes. It requires lot more changes to launcher. Hence optional argument
to --start-management-agent was not added in order to keep the
launcher impact minimum.
This is just one option for you to consider. So the current proposal
of the new option to start a remote management server, right?
Agent.java
If --start-management-agent is set, -Dcom.sun.management.* takes
precedence. Do you really want to do that? The new VM option
intends to simplify the command-line to type in. I think it's
cleaner and reasonable if --start-management-agent is specified,
-Dcom.sun.management.* are ignored (maybe worth emit a warning if set)
We can probably document that -D options will be overridden instead of
emitting a warning.
What is the behavior when -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1234
--start-management-agent port=2345 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=3456?
What is the value of the system property
com.sun.management.jmxremote.port at runtime? What port number does the
management server start with?
The implementation uses VMManagement::getVmArguments and scan
the VM options for -start-management-agent. The VM is the one
invoking jdk.internal.agent.Agent::startAgent. A simpler option
is to change Agent::startAgent to take an argument parameter
that will be passed with the argument of --start-management-agent
or null if not set.
Similarly for startRemoteManagementAgent and startLocalAgent_name.
Implementing this change requires lot of changes to argument parsing
in native code and hence it is simpler to handle this at java layer.
Can you describe how --start-management-agent option will be used for
jcmd and any other tool that attaches to a running VM to start the
agent? Example command-line will be useful.
