I'm getting started with Prometheus on a windows system and
windows_exporter seems a great way to gather some real metric data easily.
I have it running on localhost but in reality, we have an app-server,
db-server and about a dozen workstations.

I see references in docs like windows_os_processes{instance="localhost"}

But as a noob to Prometheus what isn't explained is how I would actually
set this up on multiple machines and view metrics from them in Prometheus.
I assume I install it on each machine and then edit my YAML config but what
would this look like?

The docs (
https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/blob/master/docs/collector.os.md)
also say that the example metric above has zero labels... but it apparently
has at least one label called 'instance'. Am I missing something obvious?

Sorry if this is really basic, still trying to get my head around the
basics here.

Thankyou.
