# Connecting with JMX

You can connect to JMX using local and remote processes.

JConsole permits connections to local and remote Java processes. If your instance of PingFederate is running as a Windows Service, you must connect through the remote option. For more information on connecting to a local process, see [Connecting to a local process](pf_connect_local_process.html). For information on connecting to a remote process, see [Connecting to a remote process](pf_connect_remote_process.html).
