# Windows
Plugin: go.d.plugin
Module: windows
## Overview
This collector monitors the performance of Windows machines, collects both host metrics and metrics from various Windows applications (e.g. Active Directory, MSSQL).
It collect metrics by periodically sending HTTP requests to [Prometheus exporter for Windows machines](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter), 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.
### Default Behavior
#### Auto-Detection
It detects Windows exporter instances running on localhost (requires using [Netdata MSI installer](https://github.com/netdata/msi-installer#instructions)).
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.
#### Limits
The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
#### Performance Impact
Data collection affects the CPU usage of the Windows host. CPU usage depends on the frequency of data collection and the [enabled collectors](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter#collectors).
## Metrics
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 [enabled collectors](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter#collectors).
Supported collectors:
- [cpu](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/blob/master/docs/collector.cpu.md)
