Azure Monitor - on-prem server connected to Log Analytics Workspace not shown as alert rule target resource

Hi, I am complete newbie to Azure Monitor having been working with SCOM for many years. I was given a task to do PoC anyways - after deploying SCOM agent to on-prem server and connecting it to Log Analytics Workspace I still can not see server to add it as resource target of alert rule I want to test. Is there anything else to do to monitor on-prem server other than deploying SCOM agent to it which would be connected to LA Workspace?

Hi,
Only Azure resources can be target so either onboard your servers as Arc servers instead trough SCOM or choose the Log Analytics workspace as target. Choosing the Log Analytics workspace as target will target any data source that reports data to the Log Analytics workspace. Of course, depending on your Kusto query. Choosing specific Azure resource as target will target only that resource. Depending on the target you will get different option for data to alert upon which will also result in different type of alert being created. More on Azure Monitor Alerts.
