Description

It would be great to have the functionality of ebpf_exporter also on Windows. There seems to be already work underway (https://github.com/cloudflare/ebpf_exporter/pull/130) to have the exporter support libbpf/CORE.

Implementing a Windows-port of ebpf_exporter would increase the observability of Windows using eBPF.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the requested ebpf_exporter functionality and the referenced cloudflare/ebpf_exporter PR #130, then inspect this repository for eBPF and Windows integration entry points. Done means providing Prometheus observability through a Windows-capable exporter, but the issue names no files or tests, so scope and validation need clarification.
