### System Center Operations Manager
5757
You may have an existing investment in System Center Operations Manager for monitoring on-premises resources and workloads running on your virtual machines. You may choose to [migrate this monitoring to Azure Monitor](azure-monitor-operations-manager.md) or continue to use both products together in a hybrid configuration. See [Cloud monitoring guide: Monitoring platforms overview](/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/manage/monitor/platform-overview) for a comparison of the two products. See [Monitoring strategy for cloud deployment models](/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/manage/monitor/cloud-models-monitor-overview) for guidance on using the two in a hybrid configuration and on determining the most appropriate model for your environment.

### How do I enable Azure Monitor?
42+
43+
Azure Monitor is enabled the moment that you create a new Azure subscription, and [activity log](./essentials/platform-logs-overview.md) and platform [metrics](essentials/data-platform-metrics.md) are automatically collected. Create [diagnostic settings](essentials/diagnostic-settings.md) to collect more detailed information about the operation of your Azure resources, and add [monitoring solutions](/previous-versions/azure/azure-monitor/insights/solutions) and [insights](./monitor-reference.md) to provide extra analysis on collected data for particular services.

### How do I access Azure Monitor?

Access all Azure Monitor features and data from the **Monitor** menu in the Azure portal. The **Monitoring** section of the menu for different Azure services provides access to the same tools with data filtered to a particular resource. Azure Monitor data is also accessible for various scenarios by using the Azure CLI, PowerShell, and a REST API.

### Does Azure Monitor integrate with System Center Operations Manager?
262+
263+
You can connect your existing System Center Operations Manager management group to Azure Monitor to collect data from agents into Azure Monitor Logs. This capability allows you to use log queries and solutions to analyze data collected from agents. You can also configure existing System Center Operations Manager agents to send data directly to Azure Monitor. See [Connect Operations Manager to Azure Monitor](agents/om-agents.md).
