visualvm on remote host
Prerequisites:
- X manager on the local machine. Something like XQuartz works for Mac.
To profile a java process running on a host behind a firewall/NAT/bastion host, follow these instructions:
host1 = localhost
host2 = NAT
host3 = ec2
In a terminal:
ssh -A -L 4200:host3:22 ec2-user@host2
In a new terminal:
ssh -X -p 4200 ec2-user@host1
In that session, download and unzip visualvm zip file from http://visualvm.java.net/download.html
cd to /bin directory of the unzipped visualvm directory structure.
./visualvm
