Running the OMS agent containerised

Hi,

 

For our deployment setup we are wanting to run the OMS agent within a Docker container. This agent will purely serve as a log forwarder for which ingests syslog/CEF over IP or from file (mounted within the container) and forwards these logs to the Sentinel LogAnalytics workspace.

 

Based on the OMS agent document I've found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/agents-overview it seems to me that running in a container is not a supported solution, am I correct? Also, is there anyone who has experience in deploying the OMS agent within a Docker container?

      Hi
      Is this repository maintained? I see that repo is not updated since 2019 and there are couple of PRs pending.

      Moreover, I have the similar use case and I am testing this currently. The containerised OMS agent never showed up in LA Workspace and there is no troubleshooting utility present in container. Please add some troubleshooting documentation for oms container.
