- AMA installs an output configuration for the system syslog daemon during the installation process. The configuration file specifies the way events flow between the syslog daemon and AMA.

- For `rsyslog` (most Linux distributions), the configuration file is `/etc/rsyslog.d/10-azuremonitoragent.conf`. For `syslog-ng`, the configuration file is `/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/azuremonitoragent.conf`.

On some popular distros (for example Ubuntu 18.04 LTS), rsyslog ships with a default configuration file (`/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf`) which will log events from nearly all facilities to disk at `/var/log/syslog`.

AMA doesn't rely on syslog events being logged to `/var/log/syslog`. Instead, it configures rsyslog to forward events over a socket directly to the azuremonitoragent service process (mdsd).
