I believe we can use gopsutil or rust's port of this to monitor usage of the program and the child processes.

I would love to try to implement something with the go and include here when done. If that's okey.

Those seems to be the in-place measurement tools which call various functions at the beginning and end of functions. Can they generate/collect comprehensive reports/informations from outside the binary? For example, can they call the executable in a Go application and provide a complete report of that pid?

I was considering writing a script that utilizes various tools on the pid of a running LPM instance which provides a complete report based on their results without modifying the LPM codebase. However I am open to any approach that simplifies this process. Ultimately, we only require the report.
