Azure Monitor Agent: What is the local run level?

Hello all,

My client is curious (prompted by the security team) about the Windows run level of the Azure Monitor agent when installed on VMs - (for example 'system', 'local user' etc. as shown in Services and Event Viewer).

Googling and reviewing MSFT documentation has been inconclusive so, insights are appreciated.

Best Regards

The agent always runs as local system.
