I have been ingesting the documentation on these various topics to get us to the point of setting up ATP in our environment. This puts me well on my way to getting to the end goal. Thanks very much!

Hello, Can we collect custom metrics using AMA (like using a PowerShell script etc.) anything which is not provided out of the box by AMA?

How do i deploy the agent on Win 365?

[@jagadishyellulla8057]

Hi @ITOpsTalk, Could you please let me know, how does it work with PAAS services (where the back end is Unix OS or Win OS)?

[@ITOpsTalk]

Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) collects monitoring data from the guest operating system of Azure and hybrid virtual machines and delivers it to Azure Monitor for use by features, insights, and other services, such as Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. It can be deployed on VMs and physical servers (Windows and Linux). learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/agents-overview The agent is not installed on PaaS services. But it does not mean that PaaS services cannot be monitored by Azure Monitor. You can find out more here learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/overview

Any idea how soon it can support proxy configuration or private link ? With no public internet and without one of these not sure what would be option to send the performance data to Azure Monitor Metrics as a destination..
