Change Snapshot location

[jensdon]

How can I change the snapshot location with the dir parameter?

Tried something like this but it doesnt work:

Code: Select all

java -jar yjp-controller-api-redist.jar --host=localhost --port=10002 capture-performance-snapshot dir=/tmp/yourkit/

You cannot change the snapshot directory via the parameters of yjp-controller-api-redist.jar, as this would create a security flaw. However, there are alternative methods available: https://www.yourkit.com/docs/java-profi ... ot_dir.jsp

Please note that the command line tool yjp-controller-api-redist.jar is scheduled for removal, and we recommend switching to the HTTP API:

Thanks Vladimir! Sounds like the HTTP API is the way to go for future captures.
