Is it possible to add additional windows counters to metricbeat? I'm wanting to add the Virtual Bytes counter to the metricset "process".

Thanks

Best is to open a feature request for this in the beats repository: [https://github.com/elastic/beats](https://github.com/elastic/beats) Even fast would be to open a PR 🙂 Make sure you provide all the details about this Virtual Bytes counter (links to docs etc.)
