MicrosoftPrashant Sharma, you have several options to onboard your VMs to Log Analytics. If the VMs are running in Azure, you can onboard them via Azure Portal, Azure Policy (the recommended way, as with the "Deploy Log Analytics agent" policies, every new VM will be automatically onboarded), via ARM templates, or via command line (Powershell/CLI).
Answering your specific question, the Powershell approach would be:
- If VM runs in Azure, add the Log Analytics extension to the VM (instructions for Windows VMs + different parameters for Linux VMs)
- If VMs run outside of Azure, you can download the installer and call it from the command line inside the VM (Windows / Linux).
