Prometheus.exporter.windows filetime collector does not monitor files

Grafana Alloy
1

I’ve configured the Windows collector to look at a couple test files that I have created, but it does not report any metrics regarding those files it seems. Alloy ver is 1.9.2, my config is:

The temp dir is not empty.

    prometheus.exporter.windows "vmStats" {
    	enabled_collectors = ["filetime", "cpu_info"]
    
    filetime {
    	    file_patterns =[
                "C:\\Temp\\*",
                
    	    ]
    	}
    }
    
    prometheus.scrape "example" {
      targets    = prometheus.exporter.windows.vmStats.targets
      forward_to = [prometheus.relabel.addLabels.receiver]
    
      scrape_interval = "30s"
    }
    
    prometheus.relabel "addLabels" {
    	forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.default.receiver]
    	
    	rule {
        action        = "replace"
        source_labels = ["__address__", "instance"]
        separator     = "/"
        target_label  = "host"
      }
      
    
      rule {
        action        = "replace"
        target_label  = "job"
        replacement   = "jobname"
      }
    
    }
    
    prometheus.remote_write "default" {
      endpoint {
        
    	url = "<had to remove the url but it cpu metrics from the above windows collector so should be fine"
      }
    
      external_labels = {
        appName = "app",
        nodeType = "FILETIMETEST",
      }
    }

the scrape livedebug output does indeed see perf metrics regarding the filetime collector, but not info on the files themselves

According to the docs

I should see metrics starting with windows_filetime but the only metrics I see is cpu related stuff.

Any and all help is appreciated! I’m not really sure if this is a bug or perhaps my mistake somewhere.
