Hi, now i want to monitor all windows processes on a Host. I configure system.yml als follow:

# 

Module: system

- module: system  
metricsets: process  
processes: '.\*'

but i get not all Processes that i see unter the Task Manager.

Can mi everybody say why?

Hi @Marcel_Palme 🙂

Quick try: Can you try to remove the dot on the wildcard so it looks like `processes: '*'`?
