Hi,

e.g. if Notepad is started three times, then the instances are name "Notepad", "Notepad#1" and "Notepad#2" (Can be seen in PerfMon).
In this situation it seems not possible to get only the "Process" performance counters of instance "Notepad#2".

[[inputs.win_perf_counters]]
[[inputs.win_perf_counters.object]]
# Process metrics
ObjectName = "Process"
Counters = ["ID Process","% Processor Time","Handle Count","Thread Count"]
Instances = ["Notepad#2"]
Measurement = "win_proc"

-> QUESTION 1) Is there a way to overcome this problems?

Even when ' Instances=[""] ' is configured the instances are listed but can not be identified anymore.
With configuration ' Instances=[""] ' I got a further problem: hundreds of unnecessary process data where returned which repeatedly needed quite a lot of time.

-> QUESTION 2) Is there a possibility to get only Notepad instances e.g. with a filter like ' Instance = ["Notepad*"] '?

Thank you in advance for help.
