I want to use configure alloy and windows exporter to monitor CPU utilization. The cpu collector collects CPU related metrics for each core. Some of the servers I want to monitor have hundreds of cores, and I want to collect a metric that represents total CPU utilization across all cores, for example the perfmon metric “Processor Information(_Total)%Processor Time”. Is it possible to configure the windows exporter cpu collector to collect the total instance of the CPU counters? I do not see any blocks for the CPU collector defined in the documentation…
If the cpu collector collected the total instance I could forward it to a relabel component and drop all the core instances, but unfortunately it only collects the core instances and not the total instance of the perfmon counters.
Thoughts on how to get a single metric for total CPU utilization on a Window server will be appreciated, through windows exporter or some other component.
