Is there any way to open the Java Mission Control with the JVM's websphere 8?

Question

I have a Websphere instance running, it runs localy with its own JVM, that is bundle on it. The issue is when I try to profile the websphere process, The JMC can't view the process, I've tried of many ways:

1. Downloading the JMC binaries
2. Installing the JMC from Eclipse
3. Running the JMC from the JDK_HOME

But none of them have worked.

Is there any way to run the JMC from the JVM that comes bundle inside the Websphere directory? Cause I checked inside the JVM inside Websphere server and the JMC doesn't exist.

Websphere running localhost

Websphere directory

Answer 1

You can run the stand alone version of JMC, which you can, eg, download from https://adoptopenjdk.net/jmc .

That said, it may not help you. I think Websphere may be using the J9 JVM, which does not (AFAIK) support JDK Flight Recorder.
