I'm new to JProfiler. I came into a problem recently. My Java app is running in docker which means the JVM is runnning in docker. But my jprofile is installed in the host machine. I know the jprofiler must connect to a JVM. So, is there anyway that the jprofiler can connect to jvm running in docker?

It is similar as connects JProfiler to a remote JVM, you just need to have the JProfiler agent ready inside your container and expose the port.
