MS Windows, Hyper-V monitoring
XorMon is able to monitor stand-alone Microsoft Windows servers, Microsoft Hyper-V and Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) performance metrics.
Implementation is done through
single Windows OS agent running on any Windows host in the Windows domain.
This OS agent gets all required configuration from the AD and performance data of monitored hosts through WMI.
It passes such data to XorMon server.

Agent compatability
LPAR2RRD Windows OS agent works everywhere where is available PowerShell 3 and higher
It does not directly depends on Windows version, if you are able to upgrade PowerShell to 3.0+ on older Windows machines then it will work.
