the stats are dispatched to the daemon. This means what happens to the
data depends on your configuration.

Me neither. I did all my tests with the following arguments to the JVM:

  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=17264
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false

I didn't find out how to do authentication yet and SSL with JMX seems to
be a huge pain in the you-know-where.

I'll try to find out how the authentication works and, if it's not
somehow included in the “service URL”, add that to the plugin.
