Description

The Linux Diagnostic Extension (LAD) 4.0 is now available in public preview. This release contains,

    • Azure Monitor Metric Sink enabled by default

    • Support for Ubuntu 20.04

    • Removal of OMI for a modified version of Telegraf

    • Bug and stability improvements

Since this is a major version upgrade this update will not be automatically applied. You will need to update manually. As this is a public preview, we suggest running and validating the extension in a test environment first.
