Windows compatibility

[Azbesciak]

Hello, I wonder if it is possible to use these templates in docker for windows.
I ask because when applying code from quick start.
I added a comment in helm-charts because I have found a similar error there - but not sure if it is the right place.

The error I receive is right below

I suppose the issue is in node-exporter-deamonset. Maybe there should be a replacement for this exported, a special one for windows, or paths just should be changed?

Any help appreciated, I spent some time to find this issue - unfortunately, it 'kills'(these are working but not really) all my services.
Thanks!

node_exporter shouldn't be deployed to windows nodes as it has nodeSelector set to linux boxes only.

We do have an addon for windows machines available in addons/windows.libsonnet with short docs in https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus/blob/main/docs/windows.md.

We do not maintain helm charts.

Thanks. To sum up, I rather have no chance to test metrics on windows - I need to set up a Linux-based machine?

At least one machine in a cluster needs to be linux one as most of the components run only on linux.
