Unless you are running PingFederate as a Windows service, the easiest method by which to launch JConsole on the same machine as the server is to select Local Process.
To connect to a local instance and start the monitoring process:
From the Local Process list, select
org.pingidentity.RunPF and then click
Connect.
Note: If you are running the
process locally, the system might prompt you to accept the connection as
insecure.
