Answer 1

yeah you can check this using PowerShell, lemme show you how

Open a PowerShell console with administrative privileges, If you haven't installed the Az module, you can install it using the following command and after that signing to your azure

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser



Connect-AzAccount

Use the following command to check the installation status of the Azure Monitor agent

Get-AzDataCollectionRuleStatus -ResourceGroupName <YourResourceGroup> -WorkspaceName <YourWorkspaceName>

Replace and with your actual resource grup and workspace names.
