DTrace-on-Windows: Code for the cross platform, OpenDTrace implementation
I'll be surprised if this doesn't become an abandoned experiment.
Take a look at the commit history: https://github.com/microsoft/DTrace-on-Windows/commits/windo...
Last commit 4 months ago... and then a year ago... and then two years before that.
I saw this mentioned here a while back and saw the "last commit 2 years ago" status in GitHub and just ignored it completely. It's most likely someone's pet project with no real support in the larger Microsoft corp.
Oh and I tried it in a virtual machine, but it just blue screened, which doesn't inspire confidence.

Can't get dtrace for cargo flamegraph to work (on windows)
In my experience, the dtrace implementation for windows does not work very well with cargo flamegraph. The issue the above comments pointed out, requires the user to build the app from source. Once I did that, I was able to generate a flamegraph, but the detail was not very good as it seemed to only show generic windows/rust runtime information.

DTrace-on-Windows: Code for the cross platform, OpenDTrace implementation
While amazing, this Microsoft implementation has some limitations. See my adaptation / reimplementation here https://github.com/mandiant/STrace
- STrace: MIT Licensed Windows Reimplementation of DTrace
What are some alternatives?
When comparing DTrace-on-Windows and STrace you can also consider the following projects:
ebpf-for-windows - eBPF implementation that runs on top of Windows
capa - The FLARE team's open-source tool to identify capabilities in executable files.
