I have connected VisualVM via JMX to an AIX server to profile my Java process. But the "Profiler" tab is missing I just get Overview, Monitor and Threads.
Have I missed any configuration? When opening a local Java process I see the "Profiler" tab. Or isn't it possible to profile a remote application?
Which version of VisualVM do you use? "Profiler" tab is not available for remote applications, but you should be able to use "Sampler" tab, which uses JMX connection to do CPU sampling of your remote application.
