YourKit Integration with IntelliJ IDEA - Configuration Issues.

Post by wizforce83 »

Regarding the YourKit profiler integration with IntelliJ IDEA, I'm encountering some difficulties configuring the profiler for remote debugging. I've followed the documentation, adding the agent path to the JVM options, but IntelliJ doesn't seem to recognize the YourKit profiler. Has anyone experienced similar issues, and what solutions did you find? I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 2023.2 and the latest version of YourKit Java Profiler. Any advice on troubleshooting steps or alternative configuration methods would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, I am trying to profile a remote Tomcat server. Thank you!

You must run your remote Tomcat with the -agentpath option, which means the YourKit agent must be present on the remote machine. Adding -agentpath to the IDEA run configuration on your local computer has no effect. IDEA does

Alternatively, you can attach the YourKit agent to your Tomcat server and profile it using these instructions: https://www.yourkit.com/docs/java-profi ... cation.jsp
