What is your experience in setting up remote debugging of applications?

Remote debugging of applications is usually configured through JVM parameters that allow connecting to a running process via a debugger (for example, IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse).

Main steps:

1. Launch the application with JVM parameters for remote debugging, for example:

-javaagent:... -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005

2. Configure the remote debugging configuration in the IDE, specifying the host and port (e.g., localhost:5005).

3. Connect to the application and set breakpoints, explore the call stack, variables, etc.

In my experience, I have configured remote debugging for applications running in Docker containers and on remote servers, which allowed identifying and fixing errors in real-time without stopping the service.
