Remote Access

To run the snail4j uber jar on one machine and access that from a browser on a different machine, the following steps are required:

1. In the USER_HOME/.snail4j/snail4j.json, replace the 3 occurrences of "localhost" with the hostname where the uber jar is running.

2. Per glowroot doc: By default, the Glowroot UI binds to 127.0.0.1 and is only accessible from localhost. If you wish to access the Glowroot UI from remote machines, change the bind address to 0.0.0.0 under Glowroot UI > Configuration > Web. Alternatively, the bind address can be changed by creating (or editing) admin.json (in the same directory as glowroot.jar), e.g.

        {
          "web": {
            "bindAddress": "0.0.0.0"
          }
        }
