Collecting data from Windows workloads

Open mikenorgate opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I am running the GKE managed collection in a cluster with a mixture of linux and windows nodes. I can see that the collector is only deployed onto the linux nodes which means there is no metric collection for any of the pods running on the windows nodes. Is there any way to get the collector to either run on windows or collect from those windows nodes?

Hey Mike,

Our binaries only work on Linux nodes. You could scrape Windows by running our self-deployed collector on a Linux node and configuring it to reach out to exporters running on Windows nodes.

Thanks I will look into that. It would be really useful if the managed operator could deploy and single instance of the collector which has a selector for Windows nodes rather than $(NODE_NAME)
