windows_exporter is a lightweight, open-source system monitoring agent maintained by the Prometheus Community that exposes detailed Windows performance counters, services, hardware temperatures, IIS, .NET, MSSQL, Active Directory and other subsystem metrics in the Prometheus text format. Designed for DevOps teams running hybrid infrastructure, the exporter listens on a configurable HTTP endpoint (default port 9182) so that Prometheus or any compatible scraper can collect real-time data for dashboards, capacity planning and alerting. Typical use cases include tracking CPU, memory, disk and network saturation across fleets of Windows servers; correlating application-level anomalies with underlying host behaviour; and feeding metrics into Grafana, Alertmanager or Thanos for long-term storage. The current stable release 0.31.6 refines collector reliability and adds new IIS and textfile inputs, while the project has produced 28 successive versions since its inception, each published as both a standard MSI installer and a standalone binary to simplify deployment via Group Policy, Chocolatey, winget or configuration-management tools. Because the exporter runs as a native Windows service with minimal overhead, it can be safely installed on domain controllers, SQL clusters, Exchange nodes, terminal servers or cloud-hosted VMs without altering existing workloads. Administrators selectively enable collectors through YAML or CLI flags, allowing fine-grained control over which metrics are emitted and the frequency of sampling. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
