To show the "MBeans" tab in Java VisualVM, check your Java version first as follows:
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_101"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)
$
Click as follows: Tools -> Plugins -> Settings
Use the following URL for "1.8.0_101": https://visualvm.github.io/pluginscenters.html
In the "Available Plugins" tab, install the "VisualVM-MBeans" plugin.
Now you can see the "MBeans" tab after reconnecting.
If you double-click a numeric read-only value, you can see a chart having 5 seconds resolution.
