1 month ago Thank you for your submission. As previously announced, the Log Analytics agent has been deprecatated and has no support as of August 31, 2024. If you use the Log Analytics agent to ingest data to Azure Monitor, migrate now to the new Azure Monitor agent. As part of repo archival, open issues and pull requests will be closed.
I've tried building this source on Rasbpian on a Pi B 3+ (32 bit) and on Ubuntu 64 bit (Pi 4.) I've gotten interesting failures both times:
I wanted an OMS Agent and syslog daemon running at home for a test Sentinel instance. All I have these days are Raspberry Pis. Note that these instructions assume some Linux/Unix familiarity. I may make the instructons a bit more "universal" and easily read at a later date.
1) I stated with Raspbian on a Pi B 3+. If you're using Ubuntu you may be able to skip some of these steps because Raspbian is a hair different as it aims to be more lightweight. 2) Change /bin/sh to link to /bin/bash instead of /bin/dash. (cd /bin; rm sh; ln -s bash sh) The ./configure shell scripts expect specific POSIX behaviour which dash doesn't have. 3) Install GNU-awk (apt install gawk) and change /usr/bin/awk to link to /usr/bin/gawk. Again, ./configure scripts expect GNU-awk behaviour. 4) Follow the instructions here to use 'git clone' to get the latest codebsae to your Pi: https://github.com/microsoft/Build-OMS-Agent-for-Linux 5) In addition to the packages listed in that repository you may need to install: libpam-dev, libgss-dev, and ruby. 6) From the instructions from the "master" branch URL above create the bld-omsagent/omsagent/test/config/systest.conf file. 7) Cross fingers and run "make." I was dumb and didn't time this, but you're looking at well over an hour. 8) -- I'm still dealing with a compile issue. Ruby itself seems to compile (why can't we just use the one installed on the system?) When Ruby goes to "========================= Performing Moving Ruby to intermediate directory" it craps out, complaining it can't find "ruby/config.h" ... some RTFM shows that "-I/home/pi/oms/bld-omsagent/omsagent/intermediate/Linux_ULINUX_1.0_UNKNOWN_64_Release/ruby/include/ruby-2.6.0/armv7l-linux-eabihf" is missing from the command line. When I add that, the compile fails badly as the default options complain that casting warnings should be treated as errors.
... so I tried again, this time on a Pi 4 running 64 Bit Ubuntu Server. On the initial configure run it falied; I had to add 7 lines to bld-omsagent/omsagent/Unix/buildtool so that "aarch64" was a supported architecture, but still didn't get far.
