Clarify whether dotnet-counters can monitor .NET Framework app

Documentation Request

Can dotnet-counters monitor a .NET Framework app? It would be good to clarify at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dotnet/core/diagnostics/dotnet-counters

I tried to monitor a .NET Framework process with dotnet-counters and got a timeout error:

Unhandled exception: System.TimeoutException: The operation has timed out.

Sorry I see this issue has gotten a bit stale. I'll leave this open to track the docs part but just to answer the question, no, dotnet-counters does not support .NET Framework apps.
