Enable Change Tracking and Inventory from an Azure VM

  • Straipsnis

Important

Change Tracking and Inventory using Log Analytics agent has retired on 31 August 2024 and will work on limited support till 01 February 2025. We recommend that you use Azure Monitoring Agent as the new supporting agent. Follow the guidelines for migration from Change Tracking and inventory using Log Analytics to Change Tracking and inventory using Azure Monitoring Agent version.

This article describes how you can use an Azure VM to enable Change Tracking and Inventory on other machines. To enable Azure VMs at scale, you must enable an existing VM using Change Tracking and Inventory.

Note

When enabling Change Tracking and Inventory, only certain regions are supported for linking a Log Analytics workspace and an Automation account. For a list of the supported mapping pairs, see Region mapping for Automation account and Log Analytics workspace.
