Hi guys,

So apparently .NET Core on Windows no longer writes to the metricset perfmon.  
It instead uses EventCounters - [EventCounters in .NET Core | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/diagnostics/event-counters)

Has anybody found an elegant way to send these metrics up to Elastic?  
We were thinking writing something custom that dumps the counter metrics we are interested in to a file and sending that via filebeats or something.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
