Is JMX enabled by default in Tableau Server?

JMX, or Java Management Extensions, is not enabled by default in Tableau Server. This means that when you initially install Tableau Server, JMX will require manual configuration to enable it for monitoring and management purposes. JMX is a powerful tool that allows for the monitoring and management of Java applications, including Tableau Server, but it entails security considerations and resource management that necessitate intentional implementation rather than automatic activation.

The various versions of Tableau Server have not altered the default settings regarding JMX, making it consistently disabled initially. Additionally, the environment in which Tableau Server is deployed, whether secured or unsecured, does not impact JMX's default disabled status. In summary, it requires explicit configuration by the administrator for JMX to be functional in Tableau Server.
