Hello Experts,

Currently we are having on-premise scom 2016 setup. We are planning to move the entire setup to cloud.
Is there a way where we can migrate existing scom infrastructure to Azure?
Or is it not suggested to move the existing set up to cloud? In case if we have to set up everything from scratch in Azure,(using Azure monitor) any idea how much time (approximately) we need for setting up the entire thing ( considering around 1000 agents in current setup) . Please help me.

    @sam sam , From your description, it seems we want to migrate from SCOM to Azure monitor. If there's any misunderstanding, feel free to let us know.

    To migrate from Operations Manager to Azure, based on my research, there are no migration tools to convert assets from Operations Manager to Azure Monitor since the platforms are fundamentally different. Our migration will instead constitute a standard Azure Monitor implementation while you continue to use Operations Manager. As we customize Azure Monitor to meet our requirements for different applications and components and as it gains more features, then you can start to retire different management packs and agents in Operations Manager. We can see more details in the following link:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/azure-monitor-operations-manager

    For the time cost for set up on the Azure, I think it depends on our requirement. We can consult Azure-monitor support to get more help. I notice the "azure-monitor" tag is added. We can see if we can get suggestions on this. If not, we suggest to submit a new thread and only add "azure-monitor" to get right support.

    Hope the information can help.

    Thank you @Crystal-MSFT for your detailed explanation. Yes either we will migrate as you mentioned that option is not available. Will think of Azure monitor fresh implementation. Also can we have hybrid model where scom management server would be on-premise and all agents in azure , managing them with gateway server and certificate deployment.
