On Premise event logs azure monitor

I support a few hundred users who run our software, I don't control their domain or LAN at all however I want to know if anyone has ever tried sending specific event logs (ERRORS) to the Azure Portal to monitor the issues and act on them, like giving a heads up of the error when they occur. The logging analytics on Azure looks as though it needs either the Agent to be installed on each machine or each user has and AD account on the portal itself. I just want to send specific events to the portal to monitor/identify issues.

Has anyone done this or have any ideas?

    Generally you will need an agent on the devices. You might not be able to put agents on all of your user systems but you could run an agent on the systems that you do manage. Sort of a sample method.

    It might help to narrow down the type of errors. If this is an Azure hosted app then there may be some related AAD logs. I assume it could be possible to gather those events within your software somehow.

    Thanks, @Andrew Blumhardt , the software is locally installed and built in-house, not an Azure app.

    Thanks again.
