I have tried every recipe in the book, but things just wont work today...
I am trying to use VisualVM to profile my Java app running in a remote server, so I googled and googled and googled for ways to do this and I end up with this solution:
java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9199 \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false \
-jar bin/felix.jar
Running this will get me JMX to run I guess, so I can see him running on 9199:
java 21947 root 9u IPv6 1811434 0t0 TCP *:7192 (LISTEN)
java 26376 root 14u IPv6 1844518 0t0 TCP *:9199 (LISTEN)
Moreover, I can test that the port is visible on the web:
Now, when I try to open the connection in VisualVM in my machine (which can also ping the jmx server) this happens:
I must be so dumb, that everyone in this world was able to put this thing running but me. Damn...
EDIT: I installed wireshark to know what's going on under the hood, so I saw this. As soon as I add a remote IP in VisualVM wireshark starts detecting this repetitive activity:
However, if I try to add a new JMX connection and ask him to connect, wireshark will not grab even one single packet of that connection attempt.
This seems to me that VisualVM is not even trying to connect, despite giving the error message "Cannot connect"...!! What the hell is going on?
To install a VisualVM plugin:Choose Tools > Plugins from the main menu. In the Available Plugins tab, select the Install checkbox for the plugin. Click Install. Step through and complete the plugin installer.
There are two ways to connect a remote JVM application to VisualVM: Either using jstatd or Java Management Extensions (JMX). The jstatd program is an RMI server that bundled with the JDK and monitors JVM and provides an interface to allow remote monitoring tools to attach to JVM running on the localhost.
Connecting to a Remote Host To add a remote host, right-click the Remote node in the Applications window, choose Add Remote Host and type the host name or IP address in the Add Remote Host dialog box. (You can also specify a display name that will be used to refer to the host when listed under the Remote node.)
Follow the below steps.
1) Go to remote machine open X11 forwarding,
2) Installed XMING in windows
3) Start visual VM in Remote machine the GUI will come in your windows xming.
4) Instead of IP use localhost and use same port number.
If above steps not working it means something is wrong with configuration.
If above steps working fine then go to iptables and ensure port 9199 open for outer world.
as well start the program with java -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=YOUR_IP
