About:
Jmxterm is an open-source, interactive command-line tool for managing JMX (Java Management Extensions) connections. It provides a robust shell interface to connect to JVMs, inspect MBeans, and execute operations or attributes. This tool simplifies remote monitoring and troubleshooting of Java applications without requiring a GUI.

Key Features:

Interactive command-line shell for JMX connections
Supports both standalone and interactive modes
Commands for listing, getting, setting, and invoking MBean operations
Works with both local and remote JVMs
Scriptable for automation tasks

Use Cases:

Monitoring JVM metrics and attributes in production environments
Troubleshooting and debugging Java applications remotely
Automating JMX operations in deployment scripts
Inspecting MBeans on running Java processes

Alternatives:

VisualVM – GUI-based tool, less suitable for headless/automated environments
JConsole – Standard GUI tool included with JDK, lacks interactive CLI features
jmx-cli – Alternative CLI tool, but jmxterm offers more interactive shell experience
