Side effect after attaching profiler agent?

Post by aidandon »

Does attaching a profiler agent to a process have any lingering effect once the process has been killed?

i.e. - my use case is
Run java application
Attach profiler agent
Get snapshot
Kill Application
Kill profiler agent
Restart application in production.

Is it safe to assert that the restart should not be instrumented in any way since it's a new process?

Thanks,

Please note that older versions are not supported. We recommend to use the latest version instead (2016.02), or at least to use the latest version 2015's build 15088 available at https://www.yourkit.com/download/older.html

Best regards,
Anton
