When there are multiple processes with the same name, WMI represents those after the first instance as `process-name#index`. So to get them all, rather than just the first one, the [regular expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) must use `.+`. See [process](docs/collector.process.md) for more information.
### Using a configuration file
YAML configuration files can be specified with the `--config.file` flag. E.G. `.\windows_exporter.exe --config.file=config.yml`
```yaml
collectors:
enabled: cpu,cs,net,service
collector:
service:
services-where: "Name='windows_exporter'"
log:
level: warn
```
An example configuration file can be found [here](docs/example_config.yml).
#### Configuration file notes
If the `--config.file` flag is not specified, `windows_exporter` will look for a file located at `%programfiles\windows_exporter\config.yml` by default. If no file is found, CLI flags are processed as per normal.
Configuration file values can be mixed with CLI flags. E.G.
`.\windows_exporter.exe --collectors.enabled=cpu,logon`
```yaml
log:
level: debug
```
CLI flags enjoy a higher priority over values specified in the configuration file.
