JVisualVM - Profiler - agent jar loaded but agent failed to initialize

I'm trying to run a profiler with JVisualVM on a WebLogic Server, running: /u01/app/oracle/jdk/bin/./jvisualvm but i'm getting the following error:

JVisualVM error agent jar loaded but agent failed to initialize

I ran with logging enabled: ./jvisualvm -J-Djava.util.logging.config.file=../logging.properties

JVisualVM log error

How do i fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • This can be related to jvisualvm bug affecting jdk 7 and 8 https://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8024453 Check if you are using a fixed jdk version. Fixed at 7u60 for jdk 7, 8b110 for jdk 8. Or you can use java mission control, I think it is a superior profiler.
