Set up JConsole to monitor the Directory Server using a remote process.

Start the Directory Server.
```
$ bin/start-server
```
Enable the Java Management Extensions (JMX) Connection handler usingdsconfig with the set-connection-handler-prop option.

Note:
The handler is disabled by default.

Include the LDAP connection parameters, such as host name, port, bindDN, and bindPassword.
```
$ bin/dsconfig set-connection-handler-prop \
  --handler-name "JMX Connection Handler" --set enabled:true
```

Assign privileges to a regular user account with the ldapmodify tool.

Warning:

Do not use a root user account, as using a root user account would be a security risk.

This example grants jmx-read, jmx-write, and jmx-notify privileges to the user.

$ bin/ldapmodify --hostname server1.example.com --port 1389 \ 
  --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword secret
dn: uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com 
changetype: modify 
replace: ds-privilege-name 
ds-privilege-name: jmx-read 
ds-privilege-name: jmx-write 
ds-privilege-name: jmx-notify

In the Java Monitoring & Administrative Console, click Remote Process, and enter the following JMX URL using the host and port of your Directory Server.
```
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<host>:<port>/com.unboundid.directory.server.protocols.jmx.client-unknown
```
In the Username and Password fields, enter the bind distinguished name (DN) and password for a user that has at least the jmx-read privilege.
Click Connect.
Click com.unboundid.directory.server, and expand the rootDSE node and the cn-monitor sub-node.
Select a monitoring entry.
