Azure Monitor Agent Migration Helper workbook

Azure Monitor Agent Migration Helper workbook is a workbook-based Azure Monitor solution that helps you discover what to migrate and track progress as you move from Log Analytics Agent to Azure Monitor Agent.

Using the AMA workbook

To open the workbook:

1. Navigate to the Monitor page in the Azure portal, and select Workbooks.
2. In the Workbooks pane, scroll down to the AMA Migration Helper workbook, and select it.

The workbook opens on the Subscriptions Overview tab. This page provides a high-level view of the resources in your subscriptions, which agents are deployed, and the migration status. Use this page to keep track of the migration status of your resources across your subscriptions.

On the subscriptions overview tab, the workbook automatically detects the following resources:

• Subscriptions
• Workspaces
• Azure Virtual Machines
• Virtual Machine Scale Sets
• Arc-enabled servers
• Hybrid machines without Arc where the legacy agent is deployed

Each item has a tab that provides a detailed view of the resources in that category.

The Migration status table appears at the bottom of the page.

The table includes the following columns:

• Subscription
• Resource Type
• Resource count
• How many resources have both agents deployed
• How many resources have only the Log Analytics Agent deployed
• How many resources have only the Azure Monitor Agent deployed
• Migration status

The table can be exported to Excel to allow you to work offline or share the data.

The following image shows the migration status table with the following statuses:

• Not Started: Resources that don't have any Azure Monitor Agents deployed.

• In progress: Resources that have both agents deployed.

• Completed: Resources that have only the Azure Monitor Agent deployed.

The Azure Virtual Machines and Scale Sets tabs provides a detailed view of the Azure Virtual Machines, Virtual Machine Scale Sets and Arc-enabled serves in your subscriptions. These machines are listed regardless of the workspace to which they send telemetry.
