Hi @Koen Gillissen ,

After some deeper research, it appears the the Log Analytics agent does not support ARM-based platforms, you'll find the supported Windows and Linux operating system versions over here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/agents-overview#supported-operating-systems

There's an uservoice request for supporting this for ARM platforms over here:
https://feedback.azure.com/forums/267889-azure-monitor-log-analytics/suggestions/16883320-make-the-oms-agent-work-on-linux-with-arm-architec

You could try the following though:

It won't run on a RasperryPi because it is an ARM-based platform. As far as I know, the log analytics agent only works on x86 platforms.

Thanks for the insights @Leon Laude and @CyrilAzoulay.

@Koen Gillissen , If interested, please upvote this feature request that is shared by @Leon Laude and also I recommend you to upvote other features that are of interest. In general, Azure feature / product team would check feasibility of a feature request, triage it, prioritize against existing feature backlog, add in roadmap as appropriate and would announce and/or update the related Azure document once a feature request is addressed.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, (I don’t have setup or environment to test and confirm but if it’s okay for you then) you may try this and/or this approaches to see if they can help you to accomplish your requirement.
