Log Analytics Gateway

[drp11]

Hi folks

Some clarification needed please.

I want to ingest data from my on-prem Windows computers to Azure Sentinel.

I understand that I can use a Log Analytics Gateway (LAG) on-prem to act as a HTTP proxy/forwarder to the Azure Log Analytics Workspace (and subsequently Azure Sentinel).

How do I tell my on-prem Windows computers to use / go via the LAG? There is only an option to put in the Workspace ID.

Once installed, do I configure the proxy settings in the standalone OMS Agent on the Windows server to use the IP address and port of the on-prem LAG? 

Also, does the LAG need the standalone OMS agent installing as well?

thanks

1. Install the Gateway
"On the Port and proxy address page:
a. Enter the TCP port number to be used for the gateway. Setup uses this port number to configure an inbound rule on Windows Firewall. The default value is 8080."
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-sentinel/log-analytics-gateway/m-p/2280290

2. Configure Agents with Proxy set to the Gateway name and its port
UI: "If the computer needs to communicate through a proxy server to the Log Analytics service, click Advanced and provide the URL and port number of the proxy server. "
PS: "OPINSIGHTS_PROXY_URL URI for the proxy to use"

The given answer just links back to this page and 2nd link is how to intall the agent to talk directly to Azure. Is there a detailed anser to the question of configuring the agent to send logs via the gateway?

After 2 Years, I have one more Question 🙂

Log Analytics Legacy Agent will be deprecated on August 2024 and in part:
2. Configure Agents with Proxy set to the Gateway name and its port
UI: "If the computer needs to communicate through a proxy server to the Log Analytics service, click Advanced and provide the URL and port number of the proxy server. "

- So It means that I need Log Analytics Legacy Agent on Windows in all situations.
- AMA does not support Log Analytics Gateway connection?!

Thanks in Advance!

AMA is stated as being supported with LAG: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/gateway

The question how to actually configure the LAG on an Agent is not yet outlined properly - only the use of a general proxy service is stated. So here the proxy details (IP:Port) would be the ones for the LAG: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/azure-monitor-agent-network-configurati...
