Hi guys,

Thanks for troubleshooting this issue. Although 'VBoxManage metrics collect' was never intended to be used like you do, in the upcoming releases it will flush the output. This command is supposed to be used interactively, that's why it supports Ctrl-C to terminate collection. For non-interactive use there are 'metrics setup' and 'metrics query' commands. The client program/script can do 'metrics setup' once, then do sleeping and querying in a loop.

Cheers,
Aleksey

Tried stracing it. Apparently it doesn't flush anything, even when
running without filters (strace VBoxManage metrics collect | grep -i
flush, returns nothing).

As it's not flushing, I suspect that's the core issue ... :(

Hasta!
