So how would you normally connect to the super-secure server? Console only perhaps?

It may well be just best to have a scheduled job on the server that posts the information somewhere. This could be by syslog (as mentioned before) or perhaps it could use ssh/scp to connect out and send them somewhere sensible. You could probably also get the server to HTTP-post a file to a webserver that has a cgi-script and just writes the file somewhere.

One wonders just how sensitive the server must be to not trust the administrator to sign on. You could open SSH incoming but limit access by coding up /etc/security/access.conf (or a file under /etc/security/access.conf.d) to restrict to an approved group. If you are paranoid, you could deny user/password access and force SSH keys to be used and make sure that the private keys matching the approved public keys are not shared.


There will be lots of ways to control SSH access, but we would need to understand the worries that the Security team have about the admin team and how far they would permit you to go.

Would a service account that has one function (to collect this information) be acceptable to them?




I hope that this helps with some options,
Robin

jstack

jstack(1)						      General Commands Manual							 jstack(1)

NAME

       jstack - stack trace

SYNOPSIS

       jstack [ option ] pid
       jstack [ option ] executable core
       jstack [ option ] [server-id@]remote-hostname-or-IP

DESCRIPTION

       jstack  prints  Java  stack traces of Java threads for a given Java process or core file or a remote debug server. For each Java frame, the
       full class name, method name, 'bci' (byte code index) and line number, if available, are printed. With the -m option,  jstack  prints  both
       Java  and  native frames of all threads along with the 'pc' (program counter). For each native frame, the closest native symbol to 'pc', if
       available, is printed. C++ mangled names are not demangled. To demangle C++ names, the output of this command may be piped to c++filt.

       NOTE - This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in future versions of the J2SE SDK.  jstack is not  currently  available
       on Windows platforms or on the Linux Itanium platform.

PARAMETERS

       Options are mutually exclusive. Option, if used, should follow immediately after the command name.

       pid	      process  id  for which the stacktrace is to be printed.  The process must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes
		      running on a machine, jps may be used.

       executable     Java executable from which the core dump was produced.

       core	      core file for which the stack trace is to be printed.

       remote-hostname-or-IP
		      remote debug server's (see jsadebugd) hostname or IP address.

       server-id      optional unique id, if multiple debug servers are running on the same remote host.

OPTIONS

       -m	      prints mixed mode (both Java and native C/C++ frames) stack trace.

       -h	      Prints a help message.

       -help	      Prints a help message.

SEE ALSO

       pstack(1) c++filt(1) jps(1) jsadebugd(1)

KNOWN BUGS

       Mixed mode stack trace, the -m option, does not work with the remote debug server.
