I just migrated our mostly windows infrastructure over from Graylog/Ubuntu to Rocky/Prometheus. It all seems to work fine but I cannot for the life of figure out how to scrape like 100’s of windows machines. I know my server/config works because I can scrape one windows machine just fine. Once I add more the services wont start.  
Does anyone have an example for scrape configs for this?

-job\_name: WIndows 11  
static\_configs:  
-targets: ['192.168.12.11"]

I am trying to target every IP on that certain subnet.

Am I using the wrong tool for this? I only need logon logs for PCI, CJIS compliance.
