Addon: Use Hostprocess for Windows Exporter (#2048)
* Addon: Use Hostprocess for Windows Exporter #1627 This allows for Windows Exporter to be deployed and configured dynamically without requiring to specify targets manually for each Windows node Documentation and example added * Addon: Windows Exporter using Hostprocess Fix some performance issues. - Specify resource limits for windows exporter. - Allow for scrape timeout and interval to be configured. Depending on how many pods are running on a node it can take from 500ms to 15s to scrape metrics from node. Default timeout is 10s. - Allow for enabled collectors to be configured. - Only enable collectors that are being used in rules and dashboards. * Addon: Windows Exporter using Hostprocess Fix formatting issues * Fix formatting issues in windows-hostprocess addon * Windows Addon: update doc to reflect both configs - Hostprocess and static * Windows Addon: update doc --------- Co-authored-by: Dinesh Sharma <dinesh.sharma@health.telstra.com>

The [Windows hostprocess addon](../examples/windows-hostprocess.jsonnet) adds the dashboards and rules from [kubernetes-monitoring/kubernetes-mixin](https://github.com/kubernetes-monitoring/kubernetes-mixin#dashboards-for-windows-nodes).
|

|
||||
Currently, Docker based Windows does not support running with [windows_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter) in a pod so this add on uses [additional scrape configuration](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/additional-scrape-config.md) to set up a static config to scrape the node ports where windows_exporter is configured.
|
||||
It also deploys [windows_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter) as a [hostprocess pod](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/blob/master/kubernetes/kubernetes.md) as Kubernetes now supports HostProcess containers on Windows nodes (as of [v1.22](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2021/08/16/windows-hostprocess-containers/)). The cluster should be using containerd runtime.

See the [full example](../examples/windows-hostprocess.jsonnet) for setup.

If the cluster is running docker runtime then use the other [Windows addon](../examples/windows.jsonnet). The Windows addon does not deploy windows_exporter. Docker based Windows does not support running with [windows_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter) in a pod so this add on uses [additional scrape configuration](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/additional-scrape-config.md) to set up a static config to scrape the node ports where windows_exporter is configured.
|
||||
|
||||
The addon requires you to specify the node ips and ports where it can find the windows_exporter. See the [full example](../examples/windows.jsonnet) for setup.
