The automatic agent update doesn't affect running migration jobs. Running jobs are allowed to complete before the update is locally applied on the agent. Any errors during the update process result in the automatic use of the previous agent version. In parallel, a new update attempt is started automatically. This behavior ensures an uninterrupted migration experience.

The service now supports viewing copy logs and job logs in the Azure portal. An Azure Log Analytics workspace must be configured to receive the logs. This configuration is done once for a Storage Mover resource and applies to all agents and migration jobs in that Storage Mover resource. To configure an existing Storage Mover resource or learn how to create a new Storage Mover resource with this configuration, follow the steps in the article: [How to enable Azure Storage Mover copy and job logs](log-monitoring.md).

It's possible to send the logs to a third party monitoring solution and even into a raw file in a storage account.

Private link connections from the agent into Azure are supported. Data that is migrated can travel from the agent over a private link connection to the target storage account in Azure. Agent registration can also be accomplished over a private link connection. Agent control messages (jobs, logs) can only be sent over the public endpoint of the Storage Mover agent gateway. If using a firewall or proxy server to restrict public access, make sure the following URL isn't blocked: *.agentgateway.prd.azsm.azure.com. The concrete URL is determined by the Azure region of the Storage Mover resource the agent is registered with.
