Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade microsoft-monitoring-agent -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade microsoft-monitoring-agent -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Package Approved

This package was approved as a trusted package on 01 Mar 2024.

Description

For advanced monitoring where you need to do more than collect metrics and a subset of logs, the Log Analytics agent for Windows (also referred to as the Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA)) is required.

The Log Analytics agent was developed for comprehensive management across on-premises physical and virtual machines, computers monitored by System Center Operations Manager, and VMs in hosted in other clouds.

The Windows agents connect to a Log Analytics workspace in Azure Monitor to collect both monitoring solution-based data as well as custom data sources that you configure.

In order to monitor and manage virtual machines or physical computers in your local datacenter or other cloud environment with Azure Monitor, you need to deploy the Log Analytics agent (also referred to as the Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA)) and configure it to report to one or more Log Analytics workspaces. The agent also supports the Hybrid Runbook Worker role for Azure Automation.

On a monitored Windows computer, the agent is listed as the Microsoft Monitoring Agent service. The Microsoft Monitoring Agent service collects events from log files and Windows event log, performance data, and other telemetry. Even when the agent is unable to communicate with Azure Monitor it reports to, the agent continues to run and queues the collected data on the disk of the monitored computer. When the connection is restored, the Microsoft Monitoring Agent service sends collected data to the service.

Supported Windows operating systems

The following versions of the Windows operating system are officially supported for the Windows agent:

  • Windows Server 2019
  • Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, version 1709 and 1803
  • Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8 Enterprise and Pro, and Windows 10 Enterprise and Pro

Package Specific

Package Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

  • /WorkspaceId: - Microsoft Azure Monitor workspace id (a GUID)
  • /workspaceKey: - Microsoft Azure Monitor workspace key

To pass parameters, use --params "''" (e.g. choco install packageID [other options] --params="'/ITEM:value /ITEM2:value2 /FLAG_BOOLEAN'").
To have choco remember parameters on upgrade, be sure to set choco feature enable -n=useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
