Context I'm trying to profile a binary (a simple C++ program compiled into dummy.o) and collect CPU Counters data. I have a configuration that works fine from the Instruments Counters GUI (see Screenshots below). I've exported this configuration to a template file named prof1.tracetemplate. Problem When I try to run a recording with that same template from the command line with xctrace (I also tried with sudo): $ xctrace record --template prof1.tracetemplate --launch dummy.o I get the following errors: Starting recording with the prof1 template. Launching process: dummy.o. Ctrl-C to stop the recording Run issues were detected (trace is still ready to be viewed): [Error] Unexpected failure: Couriers have returned unexpectedly. [Error] Failed to start the recording: Failed to force all hardware CPU counters: 13. [Error] Failed to pause recording session: Cannot pause session session unless it's running. Current state: kSessionError [Error] Unexpected failure: Data source agent failed to arm. Recording failed with errors. Saving output file...
