VisualVM 1.0 is Now Available! VisualVM is a GUI-based, extensible, monitoring and performance analysis tool that is the next generation to the older, mostly CLI-based, tools in Sun's JDK distribution. VisualVM is part of the latest JDK: JDK 6 Update 7 (DZone, OnTheRecord, download) but it can monitor older JVMs. |
Plug-ins are key to the success of VisualVM. They can be loaded directly from the tool and the current list includes a JConsole Container Plugin (for backward compatiblity), and Plugins for GlassFish, BTrace and a Thread Dump Analyzer.

Kedar has a fairly in-depth entry on hooking up JConsole to Sun Java System App Server's JMX pumbing.
JConsole is a JMX client that comes with the Java SE SDK.The instructions cover 8.2 and 9.0 so GlassFish should work as well). He highlights the differences in Platform Edition and the Enterprise Edition (Enterprise Edition defaults to use SSL for the admin interfaces).
