workloads. <p>Instead, we recommend that you use the <a href="/monitoring/agent/monitoring/../ops-agent">Ops Agent</a> for new Google Cloud workloads and eventually transition your existing Compute Engine VMs to use the Ops Agent. The Ops Agent, which combines the collection of metrics and logging into a single agent, is the eventual replacement for the legacy agents.</p> <p>The Ops Agent is under active development, but there might be some use cases that it doesn't support. If the Ops Agent doesn't support your use case, then you can still use the Monitoring agent on Linux.</p> <p>There will be no new feature development or support for new operating systems for the legacy Monitoring agent.</p> <p>We strongly recommend against using the legacy Monitoring agent on Windows. The legacy Monitoring agent on Windows is unsupported, and all of its features are available in the Ops Agent. We strongly recommend using Ops Agent for monitoring Windows instances. However, if you have to run the legacy Logging agent on Windows and also need to collect metrics, you must use the legacy Monitoring agent; you can't run the Ops Agent and a legacy agent on the same machine.</p> </aside> <aside class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong><span> The 5.x version of the Monitoring agent has been <a href="/stackdriver/docs/deprecations/mon-agent">deprecated and decommissioned</a>.

By default, the Monitoring agent collects disk, CPU, network, and process metrics. You can configure the Monitoring agent to monitor <a href="/monitoring/agent/plugins">third-party applications</a> to get the <a href="/monitoring/api/metrics_agent">full list of agent metrics</a>.</p> <p>To install the agent, see <a href="/monitoring/agent/monitoring/install-index">Installing the Monitoring agent</a>.</p> <p> <aside class="note"><b>Note:</b> If your <a href="/monitoring/settings#concept-scope">metrics scope</a> is configured with a <a href="/vpc-service-controls">VPC Service Controls</a> Service Perimeter for the Monitoring API, then the Monitoring agent won't work on any virtual machine instance outside the perimeter.
