+### Log Analytics agent retirement
+
+As of August 31, 2024, the [Log Analytics Agent (MMA/OMS) is retired](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/were-retiring-the-log-analytics-agent-in-azure-monitor-on-31-august-2024/). 
+
+Log collection from many appliances and devices is now supported by the Common Event Format (CEF) via AMA, Syslog via AMA, or Custom Logs via AMA data connector in Microsoft Sentinel. If you've been using the Log Analytics agent in your Microsoft Sentinel deployment, we recommend that you migrate to the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA).

 ### Export and import automation rules (Preview)
 
 Manage your Microsoft Sentinel automation rules as code! You can now export your automation rules to Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template files, and import rules from these files, as part of your program to manage and control your Microsoft Sentinel deployments as code. The export action will create a JSON file in your browser's downloads location, that you can then rename, move, and otherwise handle like any other file.
