使用VisualVM监视Java应用程序

Question

I have a few Java programs running on my EC2 instance. I want to profile them using VisualVM. they are not web applications that run on Jetty or Tomcat. I did go through the stuff mentioned here , but I dont know how to set up my VisualVM after I generate the jar files with those commands. Can some help me out?

Thanks

You normally attach VisualVM to the PID of the process you want to profile. If that's Jetty or Tomcat or some other Java EE app server, that means the PID of the app server. If not, it's the PID of the JVM that's running your app.

If you've already got a JVM installed on your EC2 instance, I'd recommend looking in the JVM /bin folder to see if jvisualvm.exe is already there. If it is, fire it up in a separate command shell and attach it the PID of your application.
