 ## Consolidating legacy agents

+Deploy Azure Monitor Agent on all new virtual machines, scale sets and on-premises servers to collect data for [supported services and features](#supported-services-and-features).
 
 If you have machines already deployed with legacy Log Analytics agents, we recommend you [migrate to Azure Monitor Agent](./azure-monitor-agent-migration.md) as soon as possible. The legacy Log Analytics agent will not be supported after August 2024.
 
 Azure Monitor Agent replaces the Azure Monitor legacy monitoring agents:
 
-- [Log Analytics Agent](./log-analytics-agent.md): Sends data to a Log Analytics workspace and supports monitoring solutions. This is fully consolidated into Azure Monitor agent. 
+- [Log Analytics Agent](./log-analytics-agent.md): Sends data to a Log Analytics workspace and supports monitoring solutions. This is fully consolidated into Azure Monitor agent.
 - [Telegraf agent](../essentials/collect-custom-metrics-linux-telegraf.md): Sends data to Azure Monitor Metrics (Linux only). Only basic Telegraf plugins are supported today in Azure Monitor agent.
 - [Diagnostics extension](./diagnostics-extension-overview.md): Sends data to Azure Monitor Metrics (Windows only), Azure Event Hubs, and Azure Storage. This is not consolidated yet.

-Azure Monitor Agent uses [data collection rules](../essentials/data-collection-rule-overview.md), using which you define which data you want each agent to collect. Data collection rules let you manage data collection settings at scale and define unique, scoped configurations for subsets of machines. The rules are independent of the workspace and the virtual machine, which means you can define a rule once and reuse it across machines and environments.
