SeungIl Lee,
Navid seem to have missed the finer detail
that you are trying to run agent controller and agent on different machines. TPTP
agent controller manages and communicates with agents that are running on the
same machine. For embedded targets for which running agent controller on the embedded
target system is not possible, one needs to create a proxy agent to run on the same
system as the agent controller. The proxy agent will handle the communication and
control of the actual agent running in an embedded system.
This is not the best possible way to
support the embedded systems use-cases, but can be implemented easily. For
longer term, we are thinking on ways to enhance the data collection framework
to allow for direction connection to agents both local and remote to Eclipse
Workbench. My suggestion is to use the proxy agent approach.
Thanks,

Yes, of course this is possible. The Agent
Controller was made for remote testing/profiling. Please visit our
documentation page here: http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/index.html
and read the following documents:
-
"Getting started with Agent Controller". This document explains
how to set up and run the Agent Controller. Choose the appropriate
version you're using
-
"An Introduction in Profiling Java Applications". This document
is a bit old, but it still does a good job of explaining some of the main
concepts.
-
"Demo: Profiling an application". You might also see some UI
differences in this video and the latest TPTP driver.
-
"Tips on speeding up TPTP's Java profiler". This document
explains what you need to do to have an effective profiling session.
The
most up-to-date documents are available in the help content of Eclipse so I
also recommend skimming over those.
Remote
profiling isn't very different from local profiling. All you have to do
is set up and run the Agent Controller on the remote machine. Add the new
host to your local machine, select it, and specify the location of the Java
application you want to profile.

[tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev] Agent
Controller and Agent on other machines..
|
|
I’m trying to modify Agent Controller to
run on another machine from an agent.
Is it possible? I understand that
normally Agent Controller and Agent should be run on the same machine.
But it is too heavy to run two java
programs on my machine, (embedded system)
So I’d like to separate those two programs and
make them run on separate machines.
(I mean Agent Controller and Agent
communicate via socket or so.)
Please at least let me know where
to start.
