Solution 1

It is similar as connects JProfiler to a remote JVM, you just need to have the JProfiler agent ready inside your container and expose the port.

This post has a step by step guide http://geekspearls.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/configure-jprofiler-92-to-profiling.html

Solution 2

You can use this dockerfile; https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/gingerbeard/java8-jprofiler/dockerfile/

FROM dockerfile/java:oracle-java8
MAINTAINER gingerbeard <[email protected]>

RUN wget http://download-aws.ej-technologies.com/jprofiler/jprofiler_linux_8_1_2.tar.gz -P /tmp/ &&\
 tar -xzf /tmp/jprofiler_linux_8_1_2.tar.gz -C /usr/local &&\
 rm /tmp/jprofiler_linux_8_1_2.tar.gz

ENV JPAGENT_PATH="-agentpath:/usr/local/jprofiler8/bin/linux-x64/libjprofilerti.so=nowait"
EXPOSE 8849

CMD ["bash"]

make sure to check the ports.

I'm new to JProfiler. I came into a problem recently. My Java app is running in docker which means the JVM is runnning in docker. But my jprofile is installed in the host machine. I know the jprofiler must connect to a JVM. So, is there anyway that the jprofiler can connect to jvm running in docker?

I've figured it out. The right way is install jprofiler inside the container with your java app. Start the jprofiler using "docker exec" in your host machine. Then u can monitor your container in your local machine.

I found I had to map the port after following the guide. docker run -p 8849:8849 imageName
