RFR: JDK-8173180 VirtualMachine.startLocalManagementAgent() returns URI with unreliable IP address

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi Harsha,

Maybe I'm missing something.
How is the local agent started?

If it's started when you connect jconsole to a process
by specifying the process ID - then I suspect this will
prevent e.g. jconsole or jvisualvm running on JDK 8 to
connect to your process.

Can you verify that it's not the case?

best regards,
