I have an application that is running as a win-service (using Apache-Procrun). I want to monitor that application with JVisualVM. I've used the commandline argument --openpid <PID> without success, ironically the old JConsole managed to connect to that application.

JVisualVM vs JConsole 0:1

I also checked all issues with the %TMP%\hsperfdata_username -Directory that are described in the JVisualVM-Trouble Shooting Guide. Its all well.

How can i get the JVisualVM to monitor my app?

The JVisualVM is not able to connect to a win-service using the --openpid <PID> argument! The old JConsole can this only in WinXP because of a Bug. The alternative is to specify a JMX Agent for the service.

This VM Arguments have to be passed to the prunsrv.exe

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=3333 \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false \

For more detail take a look at: Connecting to JMX Agents Explicitly
