Thanks in Advance.

Please try the agent startup option "disableall".

[manjun]

Thanks Anton, It is working with "disableall" option. But i guess this would also disable bytecode instrumentation right?

[Anton Katilin]

Yes. It disables several capabilities at once:

Please try whether applying the following options instead of "disableall" solves the issue too (or a smaller sub-set of them):

disablealloc,disabletracing,probe_disable=*,disablenatives
