The linked PR isn't sufficient; we need the correct proc_tracer binary too. I don't know where that comes from.

Hello @rwxdash can you advise on how you built the proc_tracer_ubuntu-20 and proc_tracer_ubuntu-22 libraries? Perhaps we can build the one for Ubuntu 24 similarly? Thank you!

For anyone wondering how to make it all work, take a look at this blog post: https://blog.smidt.dev/posts/0003/ - The author reimplemented proc-tracer, so it can be used with any Ubuntu version including 24.04.

The forked version with the required changes is here: https://github.com/borissmidt/workflow-telemetry-action. The only thing that's missing there is that the proc-tracer binary lacks +x permissions (I've just pinged the author about that). With those changes applied + those from #97 to migrate off globadge, you can have a fully working solution. - I've tried all of that myself, works perfectly.
