-To collect information on your Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts, you'll need to install the Log Analytics agent on all session hosts in the host pool, make sure the session hosts are sending to a Log Analytics workspace, and configure your Log Analytics agent settings to collect performance data and Windows Event Logs.
-
-The Log Analytics workspace you send session host data to doesn't have to be the same one you send diagnostic data to. If you have Azure session hosts outside of your Azure Virtual Desktop environment, we recommend having a designated Log Analytics workspace for the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. 
-
-To set the Log Analytics workspace where you want to collect session host data: 
-
-1. From the Azure Virtual Desktop overview page, select **Host pools**, then select the pooled host pool you want to monitor.

-1. From the host pool overview page, select **Insights (Legacy)**, then select **Open Configuration Workbook**.

-You'll need to install the Log Analytics agent on all session hosts in the host pool and send data from those hosts to your selected Log Analytics workspace. If Log Analytics isn't configured for all the session hosts in the host pool, you'll see a **Session hosts** section at the top of **Session host data settings** with the message "Some hosts in the host pool are not sending data to the selected Log Analytics workspace."

->[!NOTE]
-> If you don't see the **Session hosts** section or error message, all session hosts are set up correctly. Skip ahead to set up instructions for [Workspace performance counters](#workspace-performance-counters). Currently, automated deployment is limited to 1000 session hosts or fewer.

-To set up your remaining session hosts using the configuration workbook:
-
-1. Select **Add hosts to workspace** to deploy the Log Analytics Agent to all the session hosts in the host pool.

 ## Optional: configure alerts
 
 Azure Virtual Desktop Insights allows you to monitor Azure Monitor alerts happening within your selected subscription in the context of your Azure Virtual Desktop data. Azure Monitor alerts are an optional feature on your Azure subscriptions, and you need to set them up separately from Azure Virtual Desktop Insights. You can use the Azure Monitor alerts framework to set custom alerts on Azure Virtual Desktop events, diagnostics, and resources. To learn more about Azure Monitor alerts, see [Azure Monitor Log Alerts](/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-log).
