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

Tried a clean install already ? Checked the Plugins if others work and can be installed / Updated ? – Ronna

Thanks for the reply. Yes I tried clean install. Have removed .visualvm and cache folders as well. But no help. I could see the profiler tab if trying with a local tomcat app. – Musick

I don't see profiler tab for jvisualVm itself – Radome

Answer 1

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

Could you please provide the link which says that 'Profiler' is not available for remote applications? java.net is no longer available. – Ephemeris
