“could not open perfmemory” / “local java applications cannot be monitored“

Today I encountered a strance error opening both Java Mission Control and VisualVM: “Could not open PerfMemory” and “Local Java applications cannot be monitored”:

 

 

 

After searching and testing for quite a while, I read the solution at the VisualVM troubleshooting guide:

Local Applications Cannot Be Monitored (Error Dialog On Startup)
Description: An error dialog saying that local applications cannot be monitored is shown immediately after VisualVM startup. Locally running Java applications are displayed as <Unknown Application> (pid ###).
Resolution:  This can happen on Windows systems if the username contains capitalized letters. In this case, username is UserName but the jvmstat directory created by JDK is %TMP%\hsperfdata_username. To workaround the problem, exit all Java applications, delete the %TMP%\hsperfdata_username directory and create new %TMP%\hsperfdata_UserName directory.

That's it for this post. Hope I helped someone searching a little less for a solution for this little bugger. :)

如果你也遇到这个问题，请先检查Users/Jack(假如你的用户名是Jack)/AppData/Local/Temp/hsperfdata_Jack是否存在，问题就是hsperfdata_Jack这个文件夹的名称不能有大写，如果有大写，请关闭所有java进程，然后修改文件名到小写。
