Grafana Windows Host Overview Dashboard

A Grafana 4 dashboard for Windows hosts, requires InfluxDB and Telegraf stats saved into it.

Your telegraf config inputs section needs to look like this:

# Windows Performance Counters plugin.
# These are the recommended method of monitoring system metrics on windows,
# as the regular system plugins (inputs.cpu, inputs.mem, etc.) rely on WMI,
# which utilize more system resources.
