I have been using topbeat to collect metrics on my server, however, I have found that the metrics `load.load1` seem not to be available for Windows machine. Is that right? If true, how can I collect the system load on Windows machine

LoadAverage is [not implemented](https://github.com/elastic/gosigar#supported-platforms) for Windows in the library used by Topbeat to pull the metrics from the OS. I'm not sure if Windows even reports a value similar to the \*nix load average. I don't recall seeing it reported anywhere.

So is there anyway to collect windows load average data?

No, not unless someone contributes a means to calculate these values from other data reported by Windows.
