How can Prometheus monitor Windows processes with the same process name?

[jihaojieu]

If I have two Python processes on my Windows computer, taskList doesn't tell them apart, but Windows's built-in performance counters do. I then tried to monitor both processes using Python #1 and Python #2 respectively, but Prometheus still only found monitoring data for one process named Python.

Could you provide more context on the issue? When you say that monitoring data is only found for one process, are you implying only a single Python process is being exposed?

Are the Python commands identical? What command flags are being passed to the exporter, and is there any relevant output from the exporter?

The process collector will expose metrics for duplicate process names, as the process ID and creating process IDs are included as flags.
