Can't see any data when Grafana is running as a Windows service #5

There's an issue with accessing memory-mapped files when the program is running as a Windows service. In this mode Windows runs services in Session 0, but runs applications in other sessions. So when Grafana and game are run in different Sessions, then plugin cannot get access to the memory-mapped files created by the game.

The workaround is run grafana from a standalone binary.
