Hi, I have a Windows machine on which I develop under WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Intellij lets me run the IDE on the windows side, and connect to the filesystem on WSL. For Yourkit, I'm trying to profile an application run (from the WSL side). I can add the agent and essentially configure the run manually but I would love to just use the Intellij Plugin and click on Profile. If I do that right now, Intellij tells me that ""Profile " action is now supported for execution on the local machine only" (which I kind-of figure means that it can only run if I were to run things on the windows side.
Would there be support for the plugin to configure (probably download / run the agent) from the WSL side so that we don't have to do it manualy?
Thanks!

Re: IntelliJ, Yourkit and WSL
WSL development with Yourkit can be a bit tricky. I've seen others get it working by setting up the agent manually in WSL. Hopefully Yourkit can integrate WSL support for the plugin in the future, making it a one-click process.
