A Security Center solution is installed on the workspace selected in the Data Collection screen if not present already, and the solution is applied only to the relevant VMs. When you add a solution, it's automatically deployed by default to all Windows and Linux agents connected to your Log Analytics workspace. [Solution Targeting](../operations-management-suite/operations-management-suite-solution-targeting.md) allows you to apply a scope to your solutions.

## Does Security Center install solutions on my existing Log Analytics workspaces? What are the billing implications?
3031
When Security Center identifies that a VM is already connected to a workspace you created, Security Center enables solutions on this workspace according to your pricing tier. The solutions are applied only to the relevant Azure VMs, via [solution targeting](../operations-management-suite/operations-management-suite-solution-targeting.md), so the billing remains the same.

- **Free tier** – Security Center installs the 'SecurityCenterFree' solution on the workspace. You won't be billed for the Free tier.
3334
- **Standard tier** – Security Center installs the 'Security' solution on the workspace.

## I already have workspaces in my environment, can I use them to collect security data?

If a VM already has the Microsoft Monitoring Agent installed as an Azure extension, Security Center uses the existing connected workspace. A Security Center solution is installed on the workspace if not present already, and the solution is applied only to the relevant VMs via [solution targeting](../operations-management-suite/operations-management-suite-solution-targeting.md).

## How can I track who in my organization performed pricing tier changes in Azure Security Center
2929
Azure Subscriptions may have multiple administrators with permissions to change the pricing tier. To find out which user performed a pricing tier change, use the Azure Activity Log. For more information, see [here](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Security-Identity/Tracking-Changes-in-the-Pricing-Tier-for-Azure-Security-Center/td-p/390832).

The **Security Center Overview** page shows the overall security posture of your environment broken down by Compute, Networking, Storage & data, and Applications. Each resource type has an indicator showing if any potential security vulnerabilities have been identified. Clicking each tile displays a list of security issues identified by Security Center, along with an inventory of the resources in your subscription.
