How to connect JProfiler in remote Linux machine

Prerequisite: JProfiler should be installed on local windows and remote linux machine (both machines should have same version of JProfiler)

Please follow the steps to connect the JProfiler from windows to  remote linux box (where server is located)

Step 1:

Before running the remote JBoss, include the below three lines in the run.sh file of the JBoss (Linux machine),

JAVA_OPTS = "$JAVA_OPTS –Xrunjprofiler:port=8849 -Xbootclasspath/a: /u/ofs/profiler /jprofiler/jprofiler7/bin/agent.jar"

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/u/ofs/profiler/jprofiler/jprofiler7/bin/linux-x86"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For Example -  “/u/ofs/profiler/jprofiler/jprofiler7” is the JProfiler installed location.

The run.sh file is located in the JBoss installed location under bin directory (%JBOSS_HOME%/bin).

Step 2:

Open JProfiler from Start -> All Programs -> JProfiler7 -> JProfiler

   Select ‘Session -> Start Center (Ctrl + O)’ to open JProfiler start center.

Select ‘New Session’ tab and click ‘New Remote Integration’.

Step 3:

Select ‘On a remote computer’ in the profiled application location and select the ‘Platform of the remote computer’.

Step 4:

Select JVM vendor, Version and Mode of the remote JBoss.

Step 5:

Select startup mode based on the requirement.

Step 6:

Enter remote machine address.

 

Step 7:

Specify the JProfiler installed directory location of the remote machine.

 

Step 8:

Select the port for the profiling connection.

Step 9:

Review the information

 Step 10:
Complete the integration

 

Step 11:

Select the Initial profiling settings (Instrumentation/Sampling) based on the requirement.

 

Step 12:

Based on the need, session startup setting can be selected.

• Profiling Settings, Filter settings, Trigger settings, Probe settings can be edited.
• Recording CPU data, recording allocations, and enabling triggers can be configured during the startup.
• Now the JBoss is ready for profiling.

 

Step  13:

The detailed profiling results of the JBoss will be displayed as shown below.
