How does windows_exporter support ARM?

[jihaojieu]

Is there an exporter that supports monitoring ARM systems? Or how to monitor an ARM operating system?Thakns!

Go supports cross-compiling to different architectures by setting the GOARCH environment variables when running go build. See https://go.dev/doc/install/source#environment for more info.

I've not previously built ARM binaries of the exporter, though it'd be nice if someone could test if the exporter works correctly on an ARM device.

If there's sufficient demand an ARM binary could be added to new releases.

Would love ARM Support.

@kmf would you be interested in testing ARM binaries?

Only running Windows in a test VM. But I'll try to help where I can.

Let me know if the attached works. I've built it from master with GOARCH=arm64.

Works like a Charm :)

Nice! I'll amend the CI/CD configuration to include an ARM64 build.
