Instruments stops recording

Question

I am using Instruments to record some memory, CPU, disk and network stats over 30 minutes.

For some reason Instruments stops recording data after around 5 minutes, does anyone know why this is?

I see the graphs and process information suddenly stop but the capture continues with no error message.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I am using Instruments 4.6 and OSX 10.8.2 on a Mac Mini Late 2012.

That's not unusual behaviour in my experience.

Instruments has been notoriously unreliable often exhibiting 'stopped responding'.

Not much to do except file a report with Apple (you can do this if you force quit).
