Installing and configuring the MMA agent
Maybe the MMA agent is like Venom?
Proof I've watched too many a Marvel movie...
An existential moment perhaps, but the MMA agent can be a bunch of strings stuck from one place to another, monitoring whatever its told to do.
If you are running SCOM2016 or above, the MMA agent is built-in with Log Analytics, just configure your workspace
Download and Install MMA agent
SCOM 2012R2 agent does not have MMA, so download MMA agent from Log Analytics workspace
Azure Portal > Log Analytics > Subscription > Advanced Settings
Click on Windows Servers from Connected Sources to download Windows Agent
Click on Linux Servers from Connected Sources to download Linux Agent
From the Azure Portal (https://ms.portal.azure.com)
Click on Log Analytics, <your subscription >
Click on Advanced Settings
My view defaulted to Connected Sources > Windows Servers
Save the workspace ID and workspace key to notepad/OneNote for later
< Assuming the MMA agent is installed with Log Analytics capability >

From MMA agent, update the OMS Workspace with the GUID copied to notepad
Click on Start > Control Panel, System and Security > Microsoft Monitoring Agent
Click on Azure Log Analytics (OMS) tab on MMA agent
