If you have machines already deployed with legacy Log Analytics agents, we recommend you [migrate to Azure Monitor Agent](./azure-monitor-agent-migration.md) as soon as possible. The legacy Log Analytics agent will not be supported after August 2024.
> On rsyslog-based systems, Azure Monitor Linux Agent adds forwarding rules to the default ruleset defined in the rsyslog configuration. If multiple rulesets are used, inputs bound to non-default ruleset(s) are **not** forwarded to Azure Monitor Agent. For more information about multiple rulesets in rsyslog, see the [official documentation](https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/concepts/multi_ruleset.html).
