Azure-docs: Report to multiple log analytics workspaces

[mchmelaroriflame]

Hello, I would like to ask, if I understand it correctly.
Even so, that MMA agent (MS windows) is capable to join multiple workspaces, powershell cmd-let Set-AzureRmVMExtension is unable to configure that MMA agent correctly?

Thanks for info

@roiyz-msft @@MGoedtel Can either of you please help confirm on this one? Thanks. :)
There are some comments about this in another GitHub issue as well.

@mchmelaroriflame - The Set-AzureRMVMExtension is only intended to install the VM Extension for Log Analytics agent and not configure it afterwards to report to another workspace or a different one. To do that you would use some PowerShell code, Azure Policy, or you could consider using Azure Automation DSC to accomplish this. The PowerShell code would look something like this -

$workspaceId = 'AddWorkspaceId'
$workspaceKey = 'AddWorkspacePriKey'

$mma = New-Object -ComObject 'AgentConfigManager.MgmtSvcCfg'

if ($mma.GetCloudWorkspace($workspaceId).workspaceid -ne $workspaceId)
{
    $mma.AddCloudWorkspace($workspaceId, $workspaceKey)
    $mma.ReloadConfiguration()
    $mma.GetCloudWorkspace($workspaceId).ConnectionStatusText
    Write-Verbose "Host $env:COMPUTERNAME is now configured for $workspaceId" -Verbose
}
else
{
    Write-Warning "Host $env:COMPUTERNAME already configured for $workspaceId"
}

Hope that helps.

please-close I'm going to bug this and make sure the article states you can only use this method for installing the agent and providing initial configuration and make reference to other methods for post-install config changes to agent.
