I have its ip address ,jmx port ,username and .ppk file.How could i connect or remotely monitor using Jconsole? through putty i am connected to remote system using tunneling .

Answer 1

I assume the remote port 8080 cannot directly be connected to or you question would be mood, so:

Having a "regular" terminal connection won't help you connect any networked application -- you want to set up a SSH tunnel to forward the remote host's port 8080 to your local host's port :8080 (or any other available port), see http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html (espcially Figure 3)
