Prometheus rules for windows_exporter

Ready-to-use Prometheus rule files, rendered from the mixin with its default configuration:

• windows_rules.yaml: recording rules.
• windows_alerts.yaml: alerting rules for the default collectors.

The alerts build on the recording rules, so load both files:

rule_files:
  - /etc/prometheus/rules/windows_rules.yaml
  - /etc/prometheus/rules/windows_alerts.yaml

The files expect the exporter under the job name windows_exporter. For other job names, thresholds, selectors or the alerts of opt-in collectors, render the mixin with your own configuration as the mixin documentation describes. Every alert links to its runbook.

Do not edit these files by hand: mise run rules in contrib/mixin regenerates them, and CI fails when they are out of date.
