Hi- I was trying to pull the perfmon data from a Windows-7 Ultimate server, but it fails abruptly. When I enabled the debug mode and test the modules, I see the below log: ```auto C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\metricbeat-6.6.0-windows-x86>metricbeat.exe test modules -d "*" -v -e 2019-02-08T08:44:09.230Z INFO instance/beat.go:616 Home path: [C:\U sers\Administrator\Desktop\metricbeat-6.6.0-windows-x86] Config path: [C:\Users\ Administrator\Desktop\metricbeat-6.6.0-windows-x86] Data path: [C:\Users\Adminis trator\Desktop\metricbeat-6.6.0-windows-x86\data] Logs path: [C:\Users\Administr ator\Desktop\metricbeat-6.6.0-windows-x86\logs] 2019-02-08T08:44:09.256Z DEBUG [beat] instance/beat.go:653 Beat met adata path: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\metricbeat-6.6.0-windows-x86\data\met a.json 2019-02-08T08:44:09.257Z INFO instance/beat.go:623 Beat UUID: d7c17 b11-1f19-464d-966f-ec0c72085a7d 2019-02-08T08:44:09.257Z DEBUG [modules] beater/metricbeat.go:103 Register [ModuleFactory:[docker, mongodb, mysql, postgresql, system, uws gi, windows], MetricSetFactory:[aerospike/namespace, apache/status, ceph/cluster _disk, ceph/cluster_health, ceph/cluster_status, ceph/monitor_health, ceph/osd_d f, ceph/osd_tree, ceph/pool_disk, couchbase/bucket, couchbase/cluster, couchbase /node, docker/container, docker/cpu, docker/diskio, docker/healthcheck, docker/i mage, docker/info, docker/memory, docker/network, dropwizard/collector, elastics earch/ccr, elasticsearch/cluster_stats, elasticsearch/index, elasticsearch/index _recovery, elasticsearch/index_summary, elasticsearch/ml_job, elasticsearch/node , elasticsearch/node_stats, elasticsearch/pending_tasks, elasticsearch/shard, en voyproxy/server, etcd/leader, etcd/self, etcd/store, golang/expvar, golang/heap, graphite/server, haproxy/info, haproxy/stat, http/json, http/server, jolokia/jm x, kafka/consumergroup, kafka/partition, kibana/stats, kibana/status, kubernetes /apiserver, kubernetes/container, kubernetes/event, kubernetes/node, kubernetes/ pod, kubernetes/state_container, kubernetes/state_deployment, kubernetes/state_n ode, kubernetes/state_pod, kubernetes/state_replicaset, kubernetes/state_statefu lset, kubernetes/system, kubernetes/volume, kvm/dommemstat, logstash/node, logst ash/node_stats, memcached/stats, mongodb/collstats, mongodb/dbstats, mongodb/met rics, mongodb/replstatus, mongodb/status, munin/node, mysql/galera_status, mysql /status, nginx/stubstatus, php_fpm/pool, php_fpm/process, postgresql/activity, p ostgresql/bgwriter, postgresql/database, postgresql/statement, prometheus/collec tor, prometheus/stats, rabbitmq/connection, rabbitmq/exchange, rabbitmq/node, ra bbitmq/queue, redis/info, redis/keyspace, system/core, system/cpu, system/diskio , system/filesystem, system/fsstat, system/memory, system/network, system/proces s, system/process_summary, system/raid, system/socket_summary, system/uptime, tr aefik/health, uwsgi/status, vsphere/datastore, vsphere/host, vsphere/virtualmach ine, windows/perfmon, windows/service, zookeeper/mntr]] 2019-02-08T08:44:09.261Z DEBUG [cfgfile] cfgfile/cfgfile.go:177 Load config from file: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\metricbeat-6.6.0-windows-x 86\modules.d\windows.yml 2019-02-08T08:44:09.267Z INFO helper/privileges_windows.go:79 Metricbe at process and system info: {"OSVersion":{"Major":6,"Minor":1,"Build":7601},"Arc h":"386","NumCPU":2,"User":{"SID":"S-1-5-21-2109222410-2544541688-253984821-500" ,"Account":"Administrator","Domain":"TestServer","Type":1},"ProcessPrivs":{"SeBack upPrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeChangeNotifyPrivilege":{"enabled_by_default":t rue,"enabled":true},"SeCreateGlobalPrivilege":{"enabled_by_default":true,"enable d":true},"SeCreatePagefilePrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeCreateSymbolicLinkPriv ilege":{"enabled":false},"SeDebugPrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeImpersonatePriv ilege":{"enabled_by_default":true,"enabled":true},"SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivile ge":{"enabled":false},"SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeIncreaseWo rkingSetPrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeLoadDriverPrivilege":{"enabled":false}," SeManageVolumePrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeProfileSingleProcessPrivilege":{"e nabled":false},"SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeRestorePrivilege ":{"enabled":false},"SeSecurityPrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeShutdownPrivilege ":{"enabled":false},"SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeSystemPr ofilePrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeSystemtimePrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeT akeOwnershipPrivilege":{"enabled":false},"SeTimeZonePrivilege":{"enabled":false} ,"SeUndockPrivilege":{"enabled":false}}} 2019-02-08T08:44:09.272Z INFO helper/privileges_windows.go:111 SeDebugPrivilege is now enabled.

Hi @adrisr, @maddin2016 - Any help on this? Thanks ! Just letting you know, this happens when we add the counter instance as (\*), if we query for an individual process, it works alright. Fails with the below query: ```auto - module: windows metricsets: [perfmon] period: 5s perfmon.ignore_non_existent_counters: true perfmon.counters: - instance_label: paging_file_usage measurement_label: paging.file.usage query: '\Paging File(*)\% Usage' ``` Works alright with the below query: ```auto - module: windows metricsets: [perfmon] period: 5s perfmon.ignore_non_existent_counters: true perfmon.counters: - instance_label: paging_file_usage measurement_label: paging.file.usage query: '\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage' ``` ---

This looks like a bug. Is this the same issue as filed here? [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/10660](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/10660) (is it the same person? 🙂 ) ---
