## Windows Cluster Support
When deployed onto an RKE1 Windows cluster, Monitoring V2 will now automatically deploy a [windows-exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter) DaemonSet and set up a ServiceMonitor to collect metrics from each of the deployed Pods. This will populate Prometheus with `windows_` metrics that are akin to the `node_` metrics exported by [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) for Linux hosts.
To be able to fully deploy Monitoring V2 for Windows, all of your Windows hosts must have a minimum [wins](https://github.com/rancher/wins) version of v0.1.0.
For more details on how to upgrade wins on existing Windows hosts, see [Windows cluster support for Monitoring V2.](windows-support.md).

Monitoring V2 for Windows can only scrape metrics from Windows hosts that have a minimum `wins` version of v0.1.0. To be able to fully deploy Monitoring V2 for Windows, all of your hosts must meet this requirement.
If you provision a fresh RKE1 cluster in Rancher 2.5.8, your cluster should already meet this requirement.
### Upgrading Existing Clusters to wins v0.1.0
If the cluster was provisioned before Rancher 2.5.8 (even if the current Rancher version is 2.5.8), you will not be able to successfully deploy Monitoring V2 for Windows until you upgrade the wins version on each host to at least v0.1.0.

:::note Note for Non-Default Windows Prefix Path:
- If you set up the RKE cluster with a `cluster.yml` that has a non-default `win_prefix_path`, you will need to update the `masquerade.as` field with your prefix path in place of `c:\\`.
- For example, if you have `win_prefix_path: 'c:\host\opt\'`, then you will need to set `as: c:\host\opt\etc\wmi-exporter\wmi-exporter.exe`.
