How to use VTUNE Remote SSH through gateway

[gasor]

Hi,

I’m trying to set up a Remote SSH connection to my server using VTune. The server is only reachable through a gateway, but I haven’t been able to get it working.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

1. Updated my .ssh/config to use a ProxyJump — VTune just opens and closes a command window in a loop.

2. Tried using the ssh -J option — also doesn’t work with VTune.

3. Created an SSH tunnel and attempted to connect VTune to localhost, but it seems VTune doesn’t handle the -p option properly.

Is there a supported way to do this, or is it not possible to use VTune through a gateway?

Thanks in advance!

I've seen something similar when using netcat, where it opens a bunch of command windows. But it eventually gets there. 

When you enter a hostname into VTune, it creates its own ssh key stored in user/.ssh and then tries to copy it to the remote system. One of the command prompts will ask you enter a password, and this can get buried. You can configure it to use your own key, and there's an example of how to do that here:

If it still doesn't work, you can try using VTune server. With that, you basically install VTune on the remote system and start a web service so you can use VTune on your local browser. I'm not a network expert so if you need to set up more than basic security then I can't really help.
