Ah, OK, it's actually working, everything is fine. You can double
check it by executing:

$ curl http://localhost:50000 | grep "exec total"

On my machine it produces (this is number of executed test programs per second):
exec total: 1196/sec<br>

However, you need to add getpid and gettid syscalls to the list of
enabled syscalls in config (they are required for perf_event_open):

        "enable_syscalls": [
                "getpid",
                "gettid",
                "perf_event_open",
                "ioctl$PERF*",
                "prctl$void",
                "bpf$*",
                "sched_yield"
        ]

(you can also add few other syscalls if you think they can be
relevant, but I am able to trigger perf crashes with just these)

And note that syz-manager binary won't notify you about any crashes,
you need to look in dmesg (and maybe at hanged processes).

I've collected some corpus of perf-related programs with coverage in
my setup. If you extract the attached archive into
root/gopath/src/github.com/google/syzkaller/workdir/corpus/ dir, it
should significantly speed up triggering of bugs (note that you did
not add / in front of the path, so it should be in your cwd).
While collecting the corpus I've triggered whole lot of crashes in few minutes:
