empty log file

[bruto0]

First time user. Built the project successfully on Ubuntu 16 (amd64) as per instructions.
When trying to profile a simple Java program (spinning inside a loop for a set number of seconds) with the agent (start=1) and -XX:TraceJVMTI=... I can see all the events agent subscribes to being triggered, but in the end, the .hpl file is empty. Tried various run durations - from a few seconds to a few minutes, on both OpenJDK 8 and Oracle's JDK - with identical results.
Posting here for lack of a better place, please advise.

It'd be nice if the wiki page explicitly said that sampling won't start automatically on some platforms and it needs to be done with the help of the remote controller :)

I got the same issue (can only be started by telnet) on rhel 6... It used to work with commit 1f1e0f2, but not the latest repo...

I had investigated this issue because I had similar problem #150 and finally found what happen about it!

at 763c581 , there is some behavior change that the profiler will start after the thread start callback invoke.

But the thread start event notification was not enabled due to the code here agent.cpp

So the hp would never start automatically at linux.
It seems that #173 fixed that problem that it allow linux to register thread start event.
