It collect metrics by periodically sending HTTP requests to , a native Windows agent running on each host. This collector is supported on all platforms. This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances. It detects Windows exporter instances running on localhost (requires using ). Using the Netdata MSI installer is recommended for testing purposes only. For production use, you need to install Netdata on a Linux host and configure it to collect metrics remotely. The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. Data collection affects the CPU usage of the Windows host. CPU usage depends on the frequency of data collection and the . Metrics grouped by scope. The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. The collected set of metrics depends on the . Supported collectors: These metrics refer to the entire monitored host. This scope has no labels.

To make your Windows server a virtual node, you need to define virtual nodes in `/etc/netdata/vnodes/vnodes.conf`: Note: To create a valid guid, you can use the `uuidgen` command on Linux, or the `[guid]::NewGuid()` command in PowerShell on Windows. ```yaml hostname: win_server guid: <value> ``` <details><summary>Config</summary> ```yaml jobs: name: win_server vnode: win_server url: http://192.0.2.1:9182/metrics ``` </details> Note: When you define multiple jobs, their names must be unique.

The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working. Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`. ```bash cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/ ``` Switch to the `netdata` user. ```bash sudo -u netdata -s ``` Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector: ```bash ./go.d.plugin -d -m windows ```
