   FWIW: The V8 inspector is about JavaScript debugging so it's probably not the tool for the job. I think you can get (somewhat) similar things with a combination of trace events and async wrap, but I doubt there is a way to get those nice realtime view with chrome://tracing.

   Also looks like Node Inspector does this by monkey patching HTTP Agent and ClientRequest and sending events to their customized frontend(Chrome DevTools) with a agent, but beaware Node core tends to be neutral about devtools vendors (Refs: #8978), so the whole solution is probably best done in the user land, though core can make things easier with some new realtime-y API/protocol I guess?

   @joshgav Thanks for the link, wasn't aware of that. Closing in favor of nodejs/diagnostics#75.
