Connect to profiled application

Once you have profiled application running, you should connect to it to obtain and analyze profiling results.

All detected JVMs are shown in the "Monitor Applications" list on Welcome screen. Connect to the application you want to profile by clicking on its name.

The colored circle indicates the profiler agent status in the Java process. Green circle means the agent has been loaded, and connection will happen immediately. Orange circle means the agent has not been loaded yet, and the profiler will automatically attach the agent before connection.

If you launch the profiled application from an IDE, the profiler UI will automatically start and connect to the application, unless you turned this option off in the IDE plugin.

Local applications are shown under the node with icon. Applications running on the remote machines are shown under their own nodes with icon. To add a new remote machine click . See remote profiling from user interface to learn more.

Profiler hides development tools, such as IDEs, in the list by default. This can be configured by clicking on the icon.

If you do not see your application it the list, please read Profiling troubleshooting. You can use a web browser to check the profiler agent status.
