 ### Windows Server Update Service
 When you configure Azure Monitor to import WSUS group memberships, it analyzes the targeting group membership of any computers with the Log Analytics agent.  If you are using client-side targeting, any computer that is connected to Azure Monitor and is part of any WSUS targeting groups has its group membership imported to Azure Monitor. If you are using server-side targeting, the Log Analytics agent should be installed on the WSUS server in order for the group membership information to be imported to Azure Monitor.  This membership is continuously updated every 4 hours.
