Telegraf with windows performance counters crashes after long run

[splatch]

I run telegraf on windows machine and I am interested in it's network traffic statistics. I found interesting performance counters and simply put them into telegraf configuration to grab these statistics. Everything works fine, however after a while telegraf crashes with following message:

System info:

Windows Server 2012 R2
Telegraf 0.13.1 (amd64)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch telegraf with attached configuration
2. Wait

Additional info:

No other symptoms which could cause this issue. Telegraf runs with no problems and then crashes.

I can also reproduce this issue.

looks like the service option got merged...
#1543

so could hack around this issue using windows service set to auto restart.

sc failure telegraf reset= 60000  actions= restart/30000/restart/300000

not a good solution but might be helpful.
