Hello,

Here is a json snipit of the memory options for windows.

```
    },
      "Memory": {
        "metrics_collection_interval": 5,
        "measurement": [
          "Available Bytes",
          "Cache Faults/sec",
          "Page Faults/sec",
          "Pages/sec"
        ],
        "append_dimensions": {
          "d3": "win_bo"
        }
      },

You can also use windows performance counters to expose any other metrics in windows you would like to have. [Here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Agent-network-performance.html#CloudWatch-Agent-network-performance-Windows) is some more information about collecting windows performance counter data.
