This quickstart shows you how to install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent on a Windows computer.

5. On Add new non-Azure computers, a list of your Log Analytics workspaces is shown. The list includes, if applicable, the default workspace created for you by Security Center when automatic provisioning was enabled. Select this workspace or another workspace you wish to use.
The Direct Agent blade opens with a link for downloading a Windows agent and keys for your workspace ID to use in configuring the agent.

Each column represents one set of recommendations. The color represents the VM's or computer's current security state for that recommendation. Security Center also surfaces any detections for these computers in Security alerts.
There are two types of icons represented on the Compute blade:
