Hi  
I am running ES stack on linux ubuntu inside windows hyper-v VM.  
I installed metricbeat with deb package, enabled system metrics everything worked well.  
I want to add windows metrics to be collected in the ES.  
When I enabled the windows module I am getting the following error:

**error: metricset 'windows/perfmon' not found**

I guess the reason is that windows OS is not part of the context OS that the ES is running on.  
How do I provide the windows metrics from the windows OS into the VM?  
There is a network between the windows and the linux OS, but can I config the windows.yaml to look the metrics in different ip?

Thanks
