Research direction

Start with tracepoint_test.sh and tracepoint_test_output.txt, then compare the RHEL 9 results with perf_list.txt and the reported Ubuntu behavior. Reproduce the missing TCP events with sysmon.xml on the stated RHEL kernel; done means TCP events are logged while UDP events continue to work.

Description

Issue:
I have Sysmon installed on a RHEL 9 server and it is failing to log any TCP events. UDP events log fine. I am testing with a wide open sysmon config (attached). I've tested the same configuration on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS with no issues.

I have attached the output of a tracepoint test that I ran, the shell script used, and also the perf list output showing sysmon attached to inet_sock_set_state.
