    TravisRoberts  thank you for this Travis. but I can not connect the single-single VM to the workspace.

    I need a script (PowerShell script). so i can fill the VM name and resource group into the excel sheet and run that Excel sheet through the PowerShell script.

TravisRoberts Can you have a machine connect to multiple workspace? I dont think this is possible.

 

Also, we have a customer with some machines connected to the wrong log analytics workspace so I will change it but I will need to re-install the agent right? I noticed the agent has no option to update the workspace ID (unfortunately)

 

Any help appreciated.

 

P.S. I follow you on Udemy. Keep up the good work 🙂

matrixman  The host pool maps to one workspace.  You can't connect to multiple.

 

For Azure VM's it's best to remove the agent and re-add it for the correct log analytics workspace.  I suspect there is a way to do that programmatically with PowerShell if here are a lot of them.  

 

Thanks
