Is this available only in newly created workspace or will also be available in the existing workspaces ? 

[RoyGal]

Yes @Consultant1520 ! the new experience is available in both new and existing workspaces.

This replaces the old 'Advanced settings' experience with a modern, slick experience.

Hope you have fun using it.

Let us know what you think.

Very cool!
Small question,
What's the difference between "Agents Management" and "Agents Configuration"?

[RoyGal]

Hi @arikolsh.
Great question!
Agents management is all about downloading and connecting the Agent to Log Analytics.
You can read more about the functionality and scenario in this document:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/log-analytics-agent

Agents configuration is all about the data sources.

Read more about configuration here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/agent-data-sources 

Hope this helps clarify the difference.
Cheers,
