@clebertsuconic It is able to capture samples from a running live server,
but the server must be first started with the proper configuration.
It is simply not possible to make it light as it is with other options:
that's why I've build the MulticastBuffer to not backpressure the broker when
the sampling profiler is not reading data.
Making it differently will at least add branch mispredictions and JVM
compile deoptimizations in the hot paths.
Hence you can let a broker be configured to emit performance counters data
with no performance impact, making it suitable to be used in production too.
It is really like most perf profilers work: if you want profiling you need
at least some debug info to capture meaningful data.
