How to verify that the YourKit agent is installed properly on macOS using terminal with JDK 1.8+

I would like to verify that I have installed YourKit agent properly and I have it on my PATH. I am using:

macOS 10.14.4
java version "1.8.0_191"

Any thoughts how to verify that using the terminal.

Solution

  • Please try to run "java -agentpath=full_path_to_libyjpagent.jnilib -version" command. If all is OK, you will see YourKit Java Profiler agent output together with the output of "java -version".

    The output should look like:

    [YourKit Java Profiler 2019.1-b113] Log file: /home/xxxx/.yjp/log/java-6519.log
openjdk version "1.8.0_191"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_191-8u191-b12-2ubuntu0.18.10.1-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.191-b12, mixed mode)
