 - **A pre-existing VM extension is present**:
   - When the Monitoring Agent is installed as an extension, the extension configuration allows reporting to only a single workspace. Defender for Cloud doesn't override existing connections to user workspaces. Defender for Cloud will store security data from the VM in the workspace already connected, if the "Security" or "SecurityCenterFree" solution was installed on it. Defender for Cloud might upgrade the extension version to the latest version in this process.
-  - To see to which workspace the existing extension is sending data to, run the *TestCloudConnection.exe* tool to validate connectivity with Microsoft Defender for Cloud, as described in [Verify Log Analytics Agent connectivity](/services-hub/unified/health/assessments-troubleshooting#verify-log-analytics-agent-connectivity). Alternatively, you can open Log Analytics workspaces, select a workspace, select the VM, and look at the Log Analytics agent connection.
