Disabling JMX

Camel, by default, enables JMX for all routes and endpoints it creates by default. Sometimes, such as when you are performance testing Camel, you do not want any of the JMX metric-gathering to add any extra overhead, so you may want to disable JMX. In general, it is a good idea to leave JMX enabled, as you will find it useful to help diagnose any runtime issues.

This recipe shows you how to disable JMX.

<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
  <jmxAgent id="agent" disabled="true"/>
  <!-- route definitions here -->
</camelContext>

Note

You must set the id attribute in the jmxAgent...
