-As of version 2.7+, The azure linux guest agent has a feature to automatically collect some logs and upload them. This feature currently requires systemd, and utilizes a new systemd slice called azure-walinuxagent-logcollector.slice to manage resources while performing the collection. The log collector's goal is facilitate offline analysis, and therefore produces a ZIP file of some diagnostics logs before uploading them to the VM's Host. The ZIP file can then be retreived by Engineering Teams and Support professionals to investigate issues at the behest of the VM owner. More technical information on the files collected by the guest agent can be found in the azurelinuxagent/common/logcollector_manifests.py file in the [agent's github repository](https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent).
