Unable to install Microsoft Monitoring Agent(MMA) on Team city VM

[anshulee]

The security center recommendations mandate installing an MMA on each VM.

After enabling the agent is inactive with "Agent not responsive or missing ID"

Trying to manully install agent via steps at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/learn/quick-collect-azurevm or https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/learn/quick-collect-linux-computer doesn't work since there is no rpm manager in CoreOS

How to we add monitoring and security on the teamcity VM?

@anshulee, please ask questions regarding Azure monitoring agent in the following repository: https://github.com/microsoft/OMS-Agent-for-Linux/issues repository.

For CoreOS MSFT recommends using container monitoring agent: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/insights/containers#install-and-configure-linux-container-hosts

In CoreOS you could create a systemd service which will automatically execute required command on machine start.

Closing this issue as using the containerized agent worked for us . Thank you for the pointer
