Here, the plugin is pretty long to show anything. Can you try a long dd
in order to check if the plugin isnt working at all.
You could try:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/trouc bs=1M count=1000

(you can ctrl c if you notice activity on the plugin, then remove this
nearly 1gib file :) ). When I run that command the plugin doesnt show
anything at the beginning. You can also try to reduce the delay in the
configuration.
