On March 31st, 2026, we'll retire the Azure Diagnostic Extensions for Windows and Linux (WAD/LAD) and it will no longer be supported by Microsoft. This also includes the collection of diagnostic extension data from Azure Storage accounts imported into Log Analytics workspaces.

You'll need to start using the Azure Monitor Agent to monitor your VMs and servers in Azure. The Azure Monitor Agent provides new features and capabilities, including:

  • Centralized configuration for multiple VMs.
  • Data limits and filters at the source.
  • Multiple destinations for data from a single agent. (Log Analytics, Storage, Eventhubs, and Metrics).
