You can configure MetricsHub to monitor a Windows process. In the example below, we configured MetricsHub to monitor the sqlservr.exe process running on the prod-win-web resource using WMI.

Procedure

To achieve this use case, we:

Declare the resource to be monitored (prod-win-web) and its attributes (host.name, host.type)

    resources:
      prod-win-web:
        attributes:
          host.name: prod-win-web
          host.type: windows

Configure the WMI protocol with credentials and timeout

        protocols:
          wmi:
            username: <username>
            password: <username>
            timeout: 30

Add an additional connector (WindowsProcess) using the WindowsProcess module

        additionalConnectors:
          WindowsProcess: 
            uses: WindowsProcess

Set the variable matchCommand for the service to be monitored (sqlservr.exe):

            variables:
              matchCommand: "sqlservr\\.exe"

Here is the complete YAML configuration:

    resources:
      prod-win-web:
        attributes:
          host.name: prod-win-web
          host.type: windows
        protocols:
          wmi:
            username: <username>
            password: <username>
            timeout: 30
        additionalConnectors:
          WindowsProcess: 
            uses: WindowsProcess
            variables:
              matchCommand: "sqlservr\\.exe"
