=== Description

The `create-profiler` subcommand creates the profiler element. A server
instance is tied to the profiler by the profiler element in the Java
configuration. Only one profiler exists at a time. If you attempt to
create a profiler while one already exists, an error message is
displayed.

For changes to take effect, the server must restarted.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
