> To identify which tables use the Data Collector API, [view table properties](../logs/manage-logs-tables.md#view-table-properties). The **Type** property of tables that use the Data Collector API is set to **Custom table (classic)**. Note that tables that ingest data using the legacy Log Analytics agent (MMA) also have the **Type** property set to **Custom table (classic)**. Be sure to migrate from Log Analytics agent to Azure Monitor Agent before converting MMA tables. Otherwise, you'll stop ingesting data into custom fields in these tables after the table conversion.
