🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Turn on host.arch in the config, or remove host.arch from the note.
The note on Line 544 says resourcedetection adds host.name, os.type and host.arch. The system detector turns on only host.name and os.type by default. The config on Lines 235-236 does not override that default. As a result, readers who copy this config do not get host.arch, and the Hosts detail page cannot show the host architecture. Upstream-derived docs list host.arch with the note Sets enabled to false by default. Other sources also say Only host.name and os.type are on by default.
📝 Proposed fix: turn on host.arch

Per-resource counter overview with thresholds, built-in tools as tabs, tool types and a choosing checklist, a Collector data-flow diagram and highlighted PowerShell, YAML and SQL. Adds powershell and sql to the guide highlighter and a group prop to LanguageTabs so non-language tabs keep their own remembered pick.

- Line 79: Update the network threshold entry for “\\Network Interface(*)\\Bytes
Total/sec” so it explicitly accounts for the bits-to-bytes conversion when
comparing against Current Bandwidth, either by multiplying the byte rate by 8 or
by stating the equivalent threshold in bytes.

…t to watch and which tool to pick Leads with the signals worth an alert, compares built-in, open-source and commercial tools, then sets up the OpenTelemetry Collector (0.164 component names) with alerts for stopped services, full disks and Event Log errors. Snippets live next to the page so the published config is the validated one.

Warning

F3 · Warning · correctness
The collector releases name their MSI after Go's arch, otelcol-contrib_<version>_windows_amd64.msi; there is no windows_x64 asset. Invoke-WebRequest on a reader's server ends the first setup step with a 404, so nothing is installed and the rest of the guide cannot be followed.

New guide at
/guides/windows-server-monitoring, rewritten for readers deciding what to monitor on Windows servers and which tool to use.What the page covers
config.yaml(host metrics, service states, Event Log errors and failed logins), the ingest key on the service, and restart. Every code block has a copy button.Search intent: people comparing Windows server monitoring tools who want to know what to watch and how to get alerts.
