<p>Apache ActiveMQ Artemis ships by default with a management console.
It is powered by <a href="http://hawt.io">Hawt.io</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Its purpose is to expose the <a href="management.html#management">Management API</a> via a user friendly web ui.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>A login screen will be presented, if your broker is secure, you will need to use a user with admin role, if it is unsecure simply enter any user/password.</p>

<p>That Jolokia JMX-HTTP bridge is secured via a policy file in the broker configuration directory: 'etc/jolokia-access.xml'.
The contents of that file should be modified as described in the <a href="https://jolokia.org/reference/html/security.html">Jolokia Security Guide</a>.
By default the console is locked down to 'localhost', pay particular attention to the 'CORS' restrictions when exposing the console web endpoint over the network.</p>

<p>Running below the Navigation Menu you will see several default feature tabs.</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>Artemis</code> This is the core tab for Apache ActiveMQ Artemis specific functionality.
The rest of this document will focus on this.</p>

<li>
<p><code>Dashboard</code> Here you can create and save graphs and tables of metrics available via JMX, a default jvm health dashboard is provided.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>JMX</code> This exposes the raw Jolokia JMX so you can browse/access all the JMX endpoints exposed by the JVM.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>Threads</code> This allows you to monitor the thread usage and their state.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In previous versions there was a "Connect" tab which could be used to connect to a remote broker from the same console.
This was disabled by default for security purposes, but it can be enabled again by removing <code>-Dhawtio.disableProxy=true</code> from <code>artemis.profile</code> (or <code>artemis.profile.cmd</code> on Windows).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can install further hawtio plugins if you wish to have further functionality.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Click <code>Artemis</code> in the left navigation bar to see the Artemis specific plugin.
(The Artemis tab won&#8217;t appear if there is no broker in this JVM).

<div class="paragraph">
<p>When the broker starts it will detect the presence of the web console and log status information, e.g.:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="nowrap">INFO [org.apache.activemq.artemis] AMQ241002: Artemis Jolokia REST API available at http://localhost:8161/console/jolokia
INFO [org.apache.activemq.artemis] AMQ241004: Artemis Console available at http://localhost:8161/console</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The web console is detected by inspecting the value of the <code>&lt;display-name&gt;</code> tag in the war file&#8217;s <code>WEB-INF/web.xml</code> descriptor.
By default it looks for <code>hawtio</code>.
However, if this value is changed for any reason the broker can look for this new value by setting the following system property</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="nowrap">-Dorg.apache.activemq.artemis.webConsoleDisplayName=newValue</pre>
