## Collect performance counters
116
116
Performance data from the client can be sent to either [Azure Monitor Metrics](../essentials/data-platform-metrics.md) or [Azure Monitor Logs](../logs/data-platform-logs.md), and you typically send them to both destinations. If you enabled VM insights, a common set of performance counters is collected in Logs to support its performance charts. You can't modify this set of counters, but you can create other DCRs to collect more counters and send them to different destinations.

## Collect text logs

153
Some applications write events written to a text log stored on the virtual machine. Create a [custom table and DCR](../agents/data-collection-text-log.md) to collect this data. You define the location of the text log, its detailed configuration, and the schema of the custom table. There's a cost for the ingestion and retention of this data in the workspace.
