Using standard tools like JConsole and JVisualVM, you can connect to the Solr process for monitoring the memory usage, threads, and CPU usage:

With JConsole, you can also look at different JMX-based MBeans supported by Solr. On an example jetty setup, you can simply connect Solr by using the following procedure:

  • Open JDK folder, which is being used by Solr

  • Go to the bin folder and run JConsole

  • In JConsole, connect to the Solr process; in case of the default jetty implementation, connect to start.jar

  • Once connected, switch to the MBean tab

You will find the MBean browser as shown in the following screenshot:

For a clustered search instance, you can connect remotely through JConsole. However, while starting JVM, you need to pass the following parameters to JVM (to bypass authentication...
