Does it re-connect on JVM restart?</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Short answer: Yes.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Long answer:</div><div><br></div><div>JMX over RMI (at least the Oracle/Sun/OpenJDK implementation) has a heartbeat timer (default I think is like 60 seconds or 5 minutes, I don’t recall which) that pings the remote server.</div><div>If that times out (or the socket is explicitly closed) it marks the connection failed. The FastJMX plugin will detect that (it takes a while — several minutes is common — by the time the heartbeat fires and any timeout threshold is hit) and then initiates a reconnect attempt.</div><div><br></div><div>Reconnects occur with a multiplied back off, so you don’t just keep hammering a ‘dead’ server. I believe the upper limit on the back off is 5 minutes, but I could be mistaken. Eventually I’ll get around to making that configurable.</div><div><br></div><div>Best of luck! Let me know if you have any issues!</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>-Bryan</div></div><div><br></div></body></html>
