# Configure Log Analytics agent for Linux computers in a hybrid environment
20-
[Azure Log Analytics](../../azure-monitor/platform/agent-windows.md) can collect data directly from your physical or virtual Linux computer in your datacenter or other cloud environment into a single repository for detailed analysis and correlation. This quickstart shows you how to configure and collect data from your Linux computer with a few easy steps. For Azure Linux VMs, see the following topic [Collect data about Azure Virtual Machines](quick-collect-azurevm.md).

The Azure Log Analytics agent, previously referred to as the Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) or OMS Linux agent, was developed for comprehensive management across on-premises machines, computers monitored by [System Center Operations Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/system-center/scom/), and virtual machines in any cloud. The Windows and Linux agents attach to an Azure Monitor and store collected log data from different sources in your Log Analytics workspace, as well as any unique logs or metrics as defined in a monitoring solution.

The agent for Linux and Windows communicates outbound to the Azure Monitor service over TCP port 443, and if the machine connects through a firewall or proxy server to communicate over the Internet, review requirements below to understand the network configuration required. If your IT security policies do not allow computers on the network to connect to the Internet, you can set up a [Log Analytics gateway](gateway.md) and then configure the agent to connect through the gateway to Azure Monitor logs. The agent can then receive configuration information and send data collected depending on what data collection rules and monitoring solutions you have enabled in your workspace.

If you are monitoring a computer with System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2 or later, it can be multi-homed with the Azure Monitor service to collect data and forward to the service and still be monitored by [Operations Manager](../../azure-monitor/platform/om-agents.md). With Linux computers, the agent doesn't include a health service component as the Windows agent does, and information is collected and processes by a management server on its behalf. Because Linux computers are monitored differently with Operations Manager, they do not receive configuration or collect data directly, and forward through the management group like a Windows agent-managed system does. As a result, this scenario isn't supported with Linux computers reporting to Operations Manager.
