Profiler tab not coming in visualvm for remote jmx connection

Question

Am trying to profile a remote tomcat appln which is my staging env. But I am unable to get the profiler tab. Tried googling but I couldnt find the exact issue here. Both my remote and local jdk versions are same. Both are java 8. Am using visualvm 1.3.8

Answer 1

Profiling of remote application is not supported, please use 'Sampler' tab instead.
