We’ve added first-class Windows support to Grafana Agent

Grafana Agent 0.14.0-rc2 introduces enhanced support for Windows, addressing previous challenges such as lack of native Windows Service integration and difficulties with the windows_exporter. The update enables Grafana Agent to run as a native Windows Service, eliminating the need for external shim software and allowing seamless response to start and stop commands. It also integrates windows_exporter to streamline dependency management and improve metrics collection. Additionally, the release includes a new installer and uninstaller, offering default configuration setup, silent installation, and protection of user configurations during updates. Grafana Agent logs can now be viewed through the Windows Event Log, enhancing observability and integration with existing workflows. The Grafana team invites feedback via GitHub to further refine the Windows experience.
