 For System Center Operations Manager agents in a connected management group, data source configurations are translated into management packs and delivered to the management group every 5 minutes by default. The agent downloads the management pack like any other and collects the specified data. Depending on the data source, the data will either be sent to a management server, which forwards the data to the Azure Monitor, or the agent will send the data to Azure Monitor without going through the management server.

 If the agent is unable to connect to Azure Monitor or Operations Manager, it will continue to collect data that it will deliver when it establishes a connection. Data can be lost if the amount of data reaches the maximum cache size for the client, or if the agent can't establish a connection within 24 hours.

-Azure Monitor Logs is a feature of Azure Monitor that collects and organizes log and performance data from [monitored resources](../monitor-reference.md).

+Azure Monitor Logs is a feature of Azure Monitor that collects and organizes log and performance data from monitored resources. Several features of Azure Monitor store their data in Logs and present this data in various ways to assist you in monitoring the performance and availability of your cloud and hybrid applications and their supporting components.
 
 Along with using existing Azure Monitor features, you can analyze Logs data by using a sophisticated query language that's capable of quickly analyzing millions of records. You might perform a simple query that retrieves a specific set of records or perform sophisticated data analysis to identify critical patterns in your monitoring data. Work with log queries and their results interactively by using Log Analytics, use them in alert rules to be proactively notified of issues, or visualize their results in a workbook or dashboard.
