Hi, I'm new to ELK. I've installed metricbeats on Windows and started to get the default metrics without any problem. Now, I wanted to use the Windows module to gain insight on one of the sites in this server. My yaml configuration is: - module: windows metricsets: ["perfmon"] period: 10s perfmon.counters: - instance\_label: "site.connections" instance\_name: "site1" measurement\_label: "site.current.connections" query: '\Web Service(site1)\Current Connections' format: "long" However, I could not see that those metrics in Kibana dashboard. What am I missing here? Thanks. ---

Can you share the log output (best debug) from metricbeat? ---
