Question

Your organization runs a pooled Azure Virtual Desktop host pool with session hosts sending data to a Log Analytics workspace that powers AVD Insights. Microsoft has announced the retirement of the legacy Log Analytics agent (MMA). You must ensure that performance counters and event logs continue to flow into your workspace after the retirement date, with the least ongoing administrative overhead. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Migrate the session hosts to the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) and configure a Data Collection Rule (DCR) that specifies the performance counters and event logs to collect.

Answer

Keep the Log Analytics agent installed and increase the workspace data retention period to compensate for the retirement.

Answer

Enable diagnostic settings on the host pool resource to forward all session host performance counters directly to the workspace.

Answer

Install the Dependency agent on each session host and rely on VM insights to collect the required counters and event logs.
