A few points to add to my previous posting on JConsole:
- As well as performance data, you have access to configuration data. Be aware that it is read-write! So whilst it might be a nice alternative to digging around for your instanceconfig.xml etc, you should be careful
- If you have your BI Server and Presentation Services deployed on separate servers then you will only get MBeans for the relevant service:
- If you want to view the values of the BI Server MBeans and your Presentation Services server is not on the same box then you have to use JConsole/JMX, as Performance Monitor will not have access to the values:

[Edit]
An alternative to jconsole is to access the Oracle BI Management MBeans through oc4j. @lex has details here
