- cpu
- memory
- net
- logical_disk
- os
- system
- logon

Configuration
Edit the go.d/wmi.conf configuration file using edit-config from the your agent's config
directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/wmi.conf
Needs only url to windows_exporter metrics endpoint. Here is an example for 2 instances:
jobs:
- name : win_server1
url : http://203.0.113.10:9182/metrics
- name : win_server2
url : http://203.0.113.11:9182/metrics
For all available options please see module configuration file.
Troubleshooting
Check the module debug output. Run the following command as netdata user:
./go.d.plugin -d -m wmi
