Results

The dispatcher that is at the top of the list and is currently running is the dispatcher that is chosen to run the JMX proxy service. You can change the order of the dispatchers at any time. If none of the dispatchers in this list are running, then any random available dispatcher is chosen to host the JMX proxy server.
