1. Add the following JVM args to your application startup to enable JMX jvm monitoring:

   -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=(choose a port number) -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

2. Go into hyperic, select you server.

3. Go to Tools->New Server.
4. Select "Sun JVM 1.5" (Even if your running 1.6).
5. Enter a name
6. Enter the path to your jdk in install path.
7. Go to "Configure properties".
8. For the jmx url enter: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:(port number from above)/jmxrmi
