EMPD ports prevent Obverver from running remotely

Don’t you mean

$ ssh remote-user@remote-ip -L4369:localhost:4369 -L47636:localhost:47636

instead?

yes

@Fl4m3Ph03n1x

iex --name USR@127.0.0.1 --cookie COOKIE --remsh APP@127.0.0.1

I take it you execute this in the remote machine right?
What do you do if the app is already running and you can’t use iex? (which is the case)

This is what I run locally to connect to the remote node (the app in production, for example). USR is a local name, COOKIE is the cookie in the remote node, and APP the user in remote host.

@Fl4m3Ph03n1x

iex --name USR@127.0.0.1 --cookie COOKIE
> Node.connect :"APP@127.0.0.1"
> :observer.start
# Change Node in GUI

I assume this is done in localhost. What is the name of the app in the UI? Doesn’t show up for me

Yes, you run it local just like the other iex command. The difference is that I use this one to run observer. The other to use the IEx.

You will see the applications in the observer menu, “Nodes”. There you should be able to switch to the remote application you wanna observe.

Does it work now?
