I am using Jconsole to access JMX and find out that I can't find storageproxy under mbean tab while I can get information of storageservice. It is very interesting that I find the storageproxy has been registered in source code.
private StorageProxy() {} static { MBeanServer mbs = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer(); try { mbs.registerMBean(new StorageProxy(), new ObjectName("org.apache.cassandra.service:type=StorageProxy")); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } my cassandra is 0.6.3
