Get Java 7 visualvm working on remote Tomcat server
Raw
visualvm-tomcat7.sh
# Tomcat setup
# add the following to the JVM_OPTS for the given tomcat instance
VISUAL_VM_SETTINGS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8086 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Xverify:none"
# note that on os x, some StackOverflow posts have discussed the need for an additiona "-Xshare:off" setting.
# To run jstatd
# create a file called jstatd.all.policy
# see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/share/jstatd.html
# with the following in it:
echo "grant codebase \"file:\${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar\" { \
permission java.security.AllPermission; \
};" > /tmp/jstatd.all.policy
# start jstatd from java home
${JAVA_HOME}/jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=/tmp/jstatd.all.policy
# you can then connect on port 8086, though visualvm should pick it right up
