I want to profile my play application on my Kubernetes cluster.

I am using VisualVM, and the steps that I have taken are as follows:

1. Image is built on ubuntu latest

2. Running my play application with the following args:

   "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote",
   "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false",
   "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false",
   "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1098"

3. My Image has apt-get install -y visualvm

4. I do kubectl port-forward <Container> 1098

5. Open VisualVM, And I don't see the process.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. When running the application on localhost (not via IDE, straight from the startup script) everything works fine.
