Remotely debugging .net core console apps on different remote machines

Question

I have a .net core console project (3.1 or 5, doesn't matter) for which I may easily setup different configurations for build (e.g. release, debug, debug2 etc.) with separate output paths etc.

Now I want to do remote debugging on different remote machines, but the project settings debug tab does not allow me to set up different machines, authentication modes, working directories etc.

I assume this must be possible, but not able to figure out.
Is launchsettings.json a way to go? (please note console app, not ASPNET). How?

Answer 1

Thanks, but I think you didn't really understand my question.
I mentioned the word "different" (means "multiple").
However, I think my vague assumption regarding launchsettings.json leads me on the right track by using the setting for profiles (which I was too blind too see because my mind was centered around the Configuration and Platform settings which are both disabled.
I will report back on this.

Meanwhile: What are the Configuration and Platform settings used for in .net core (I have only seen them disabled, but I expect them to be enabled in a certain context otherwise they should not be there in the first place), please explain.

Hi EuroEager2008,

Firstly, you need to download the remote debugger tool on remote machine, then run it in administrator mode.

And then type the related parameters like this image；

Please note: the directory of the executable file must be same in the local machine and remote machine.
