Description

Feature Description

Helidon is a Webserver that uses virtual threads, it would be great if I could use this agent with it. I currently can only view JVM metrics, with no tracing when I use the agent.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Java agent's existing framework integrations and Helidon SE's webserver and virtual-thread behavior. Determine which tracing support is expected beyond the JVM metrics already available; the work is done when Helidon SE applications produce the requested tracing data through the agent.
