Azure Monitor agent direct install

Question

Hi,

I would like to forward syslog messages from my linux host to Azure Monitor.
Is there a way to obtain an installable package of Azure Monitor (perferably deb), or the binary?

I am not interested installing it as vm extension, or Powershell. Iirc with the old solution the binary could be extracted from some shellscript.

thanks and kind regards.

Hi Stefan-5479,

You can use Azure Log Analytics agent to transfer the syslog from your Linux server to Azure Log Analytics workspace. Please have a look into below URL for more details.

Hello @Stefan right now there is no possibility to download and install the agent on Linux, the client installer for Windows is in preview. azure-monitor-agent-overview
