Azure Guest Configuration Policy Azure monitor agent

[Acenl12]

It looks like we can only configure one Log Analytics using guest configuration policies to configure the Azure Monitor Agent (MMAAgent). And I'm looking for only policy which enabled to configure multi homing because we have that scenario.

While the title says Azure Monitor agent, the issue description says MMA agent.

@guidovbrakel Can you perhaps clarify which agent, and also post a link to the policy in question?

@guidovbrakel Can you please help me understand what exactly are you looking for? Do you need an Azure Policy to install the new Azure Monitor Agent?

The new Azure Monitor Agent uses Data Collection rules to define where to send data. You could create a Data Collection Rule to send data to two different Log Analytics workspaces. See this documentation for Data Collection Rules -

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/azure-monitor/agents/data-collection-rule-sample-agent

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/azure-monitor/agents/data-collection-rule-sample-agent

You could look at the following Azure Policy Initiative to Configure Windows machines to run Azure Monitor Agent and associate them to a Data Collection Rule -

https://github.com/Azure/azure-policy/blob/master/built-in-policies/policySetDefinitions/Monitoring/AzureMonitor_WindowsPlatform_EnableDCR.json

There are similar policy initiatives for Linux and Azure Arc onboarded servers.
