This service starts a lightweight monitoring mode. In this mode, the service provides limited features, yielding improved runtime performance. The JMX monitoring service does not allow expanding or selecting a token and does not provide information about parent or child token relations in the results. This prevents selection of concrete parent entries from the Refine drop-down menu. The tool does not display parent or child related information for the tokens in the results table.

This is the default service selection. The service constantly monitors performance characteristics of My webMethods Server in production or in any other environment.

The JMX Monitoring Service also makes performance information available with JMX. If My webMethods Server is running in monitoring mode, you can use any JMX client, for example the default JDK 1.6 jVisual VM tool, to connect to My webMethods Server on port 5002 (by default) to monitor performance service data.

This option starts a more thorough analyzing service which results in slower performance. The development performance service allows the tool to display parent and child token relations and thus enable better performance analysis. If you start this service, it enables you to choose and browse for concrete parent entries from the Refine drop-down menu. The tool displays the parent tokens in the results table and enables you to browse performance information for the child tokens.

Click this check box to make the performance service mode persistent. That is, this mode is in effect each time that My webMethods Server starts. Otherwise, the selected configuration remains effective until you change it manually or until you restart My webMethods Server. If you do not select this option, the configuration is reset to default upon the next restart.
