 Integrating with System Center Operations Manager adds value to your service operations strategy by using the speed and efficiency of Azure Monitor in collecting, storing, and analyzing log data from Operations Manager. Azure Monitor log queries help correlate and work toward identifying the faults of problems and surfacing recurrences in support of your existing problem management process. The flexibility of the query engine to examine performance, event, and alert data with rich dashboards and reporting capabilities to expose this data in meaningful ways demonstrates the strength Azure Monitor brings in complementing Operations Manager.
 
 The agents reporting to the Operations Manager management group collect data from your servers based on the [Log Analytics data sources](../agents/agent-data-sources.md) and solutions you've enabled in your workspace. Depending on the solutions enabled:

 During initial registration of your Operations Manager management group with a Log Analytics workspace, the option to specify the proxy configuration for the management group isn't available in the Operations console. The management group has to be successfully registered with the service before this option is available. To work around this situation, update the system proxy configuration by using `netsh` on the system you're running the Operations console from to configure integration, and all management servers in the management group.
