Is is possible to perform automated or scheduled timeline profiling
Good day.
I'm trying to set up a system where I do a timed trace of a certain running process at specific intervals. This is simple to do with the console profiling application and windows task scheduler, but after exploring my options, it seems to me that the Console Profiler is unable to do a timeline trace attaching into a process. This is unfortunate, as the timeline trace would be preferred by our developers.
Overall this seems strange, considering that the GUI version can attach into a process and perform a timeline trace just fine. Am I simply missing something, or is there a workaround to perform this automatically.

Hi Vantte,
Unfortunately it's true, our console profiler doesn't support Timeline profiling mode, and there is no any workaround. We plan to support Timeline mode in console profiler in one of the next versions.
As an option you can consider using self-profiling API in your application: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/profiler/2016.3/Profiling_Guidelines__Advanced_Profiling_Using_dotTrace_API.html .
Thank you for the information. I will consider my options and wait for your future versions.
