To provide [File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)](file-integrity-monitoring-overview.md), the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) collects data from machines according to [data collection rules](../azure-monitor/essentials/data-collection-rule-overview.md). When the current state of your system files is compared with the state during the previous scan, FIM notifies you about suspicious modifications.

> As part of our Defender for Cloud updated strategy, the Azure Monitor Agent will no longer be required to receive all the capabilities of Defender for Servers. All features that currently rely on the Azure Monitor Agent, including those described on this page, will be available through Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integration or through agentless scanning, by August 2024. To access the full capabilities of Defender for SQL server on machines, the Azure monitoring Agent (also known as AMA) is required. For more information about the feature road map, see [this announcement](upcoming-changes.md#defender-for-cloud-plan-and-strategy-for-the-log-analytics-agent-deprecation).

Defender for Cloud uses the Log Analytics agent and the Azure Monitor agent to collect information from compute resources. Then, it sends the data to a Log Analytics workspace for more analysis. Review the [differences and recommendations for both agents](../azure-monitor/agents/agents-overview.md).

As a result, in October 2023, the current shared Log Analytics agent / Azure Monitor agent auto-provisioning mechanism will be updated and applied to the Log Analytics agent only. The Azure Monitor agent related (Public Preview) policy initiatives mentioned below will be deprecated, and a new SQL-targeted AMA policy will be released.
