Remote Profiling Using JbossProfiler

[jaggibrijesh]

Hi ,
i am using JbossProfiler to profile a remote server . I have been able to sucessfully profile a server localy , not very sure of how to profile a remotely placed live server .

I have added the folllowing entry in the run.bat of my local Jboss .

-XrunjbossInspector:tmp,socket=192.168.8.89:8080

192.168.8.89:8080 is where the app is running(Remote live Server) .
When i start Jboss after this i get the following error .


FatalError: Cannot find org.jboss.profiler.threadcheck.StartupProfilerCheck.initCheck(String,int)
Check you classpath for profilerConsole.jar


I decompiled the profilerConsole.jar to view its code , it seems like it needs an entry for the pid as well . We tried adding an pid to it .

-XrunjbossInspector:tmp,socket=192.168.8.89:8080 1736

but still got the same error .



Any suggestions Guys .

JBoss Profiler always sends the output to files. Never through socket.

So, you should use JBoss Profiler as you would do locally:


-XrunjbossInspector:/tmp


That socket option is to be used with profilerConsole.jar, and it's not very useful any more.

Just install jboss-profiler-noAOP.sar into your /deployment directory, add the JVM argument (-Xrun...) and call start through JMX console on (http://<server-ip>:8080/jmx-console, and select a local directory to the server. Nothing changed between a remote and a local profiler.
