    Hi,

    yes you can install the Log Analytics Agent (SCOM Agent) on an On-Prem Server and collect all Data.
    Link to install: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/learn/quick-collect-windows-computer
    You can use Azure Monitor notifications (Email, SMS, Voice,Push)
    Important, it’s also possible to collect Information from third party products because you can write custom scripts and send the result to log analytics (Custom Log)

      Is it possible to transfer the logs from the Log Analytics Gateway not via port 443 as it goes over the Internet.

      But using ExpressRoute or Site2Site VPN?

        Hi,

        if you have ExpressRoute in place, the outgoing traffic routes over the Microsoft peering.
        If you only have S2S VPN there isn’t an option to change the route for my point of view.

        Another option is maybe (not the best) you place the Gateway in azure, then the traffic doesn’t leave the Azure datacenter.

        Regards,
