问题
I have already spent a long time to load and test my application, now I need to profile it. But unluckily, the VisualVM always says "not supported for this JVM" on my local applications?
The applications were started on the same JVM with VisualVM.
回答1:
I found out that (at least under Windows) one can easily write small batch files to run VisualVM in combination with specific JVMs, which is important for me, since I have installed the 32bit JDK alongside with the 64bit JDK (I need both, so this is sensible for me). I have created two batch files in the folder "S:\applications\visualvm\bin\":
run_32.bat:
@echo off
START "VisualVM 32" visualvm.exe --jdkhome "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07"
run_64.bat:
@echo off
START "VisualVM 64" visualvm.exe --jdkhome "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07"
Obviously, all paths may differ on your system, but the general idea should still work correctly (on all 64bit versions of Windows). The benefit is that I can use the 32bit batch file when I want to use VisualVM in combination with Java applications that run on the 32bit JVM, and so on for 64bit.
The "start" command has the only benefit that the batch file launches the application without waiting for it to finish, so the command prompt window closes immediately. This is not a feature of VisualVM, but of the Windows batch file interpreter.
回答2:
VisualVM needs to be run with the same JVM - at least Java 6 with the same 32-bit/64-bit size - as the program to be profiled. (You also need to be the same user, but then this message does not apply).
I would be triple-check that it was the exact same JVM in your situation.
回答3:
In my case, even with the JVMs matching (both 64-Bit), the only way to get things working was sending the argument -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote to the JVM to be monitored. That also works if you are having problems to connect via Java Mission Control (JMC).
According to JMX's documentation, this what the argument does:
Setting this property registered the Java VM platform's MBeans and published the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) connector via a private interface to allow JMX client applications to monitor a local Java platform, that is, a Java VM running on the same machine as the JMX client.
This was supposed to be enabled automatically, but for some reason it wasn't on my Linux.
回答4:
On Linux: Make sure that your /etc/hosts correctly references the effective ip address of your "hostname" It appears that a discrepancy here totally confuses the poor jvisualvm and its programmers.

I too got the same problem for local tomcat, I search for solutions for stackoverflow. after some serious debugging, I figured out that VisualGC don't have permissions to get GC informations from tool.jar file.

I following steps to solve the issue
1) Create a permission file
vim /tmp/tools.policy
Add
grant codebase "file:${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
save it
2) Now add /tmp/tools.policy to JVM startup parameters
-Djava.security.policy=/tmp/tools.policy
3) Run jvisualVm with sudo
回答6:
An issue that I just found, thanks to the hint from @user3356656, is that if you start the program while your machine is on one IP, and then try to connect while it is on a different IP, it will fail.
回答7:
I also met this issue. My case is that on linux, I started tomcat with tomcat_user but I run jvisualvm with root user. It works after I start tomcat with root user.
回答8:
I was having the problem having of visualvm detect my local tomcat installation on Windows 7. I could connect manually, but then things like memory snapshots and visualgc plugin were not enabled. I confirmed that I was using same JVM version, temp file permissions, etc. Didn't work. Then I found that starting visualvm first, and then tomcat, solved the problem.
回答9:
As you can see, you are running VisualVM on 32bit JVM
You don't need to unistall 32bit JVM. Just tell VisualVM to use tour 64bit JVM.
If you want to change it permanently, you can edit
in visualvm_13\etc\visualvm.conf and specify the path of jvm here
回答10:
My problem was JVM optimizations - -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem flag will break VisualGC. This is apparent if jps will not show your app in the listing.
回答11:
I can reproduce next behaviour. I have a java application with right-click menu item to open jvisualvm. I'm running this java application as standalone setup from a bat file. It means I modify %path% and other needed environment variables like JDK accordingly to form my environment. The BAT that starts application is marked running as non-admin. Environment points to a 64-bit JDK. Then I start other java application as admin. VM lives from the to same 64-bit JDK-source. Then I start jvisualvm from first app with the right click ie.as non-admin. I can see the app in jvisualvm ‘Applications list’ but clickin ‘System properties’ gives error. Message is “Not supported for this JVM”. JVM arguments are exposed.
Solution is like in some other previous comments: Starting my right-click jvisualvm-starter as admin I can see also "system properties" . Certainly if JDKs would be 32-bit and other 64-bit it would not work. been there.
I thought this notion needs to be added here.
回答12:
I have changed name to my Windows User and set it all lowercase, restarted my PC and it all works now.
回答13:
For me, the reason is that I have run the "jstatd" with a different user with the JVM process. I have a special user in the linux to start the JVM thread(it is a tomcat), but I start the jstatd process with root. If you use root to run jps, you cannot see any information of the JVM threads belonging to other users. That is the trouble. I killed the "jstatd" process started by root, su to the owner of the JVM process, and restart the "jstatd" process and everything wokrs fine now.
