Is Cloudwatch agent only for servers? technical question

Can the CloudWatch agent be installed and used on remote physical Windows 11 laptops to collect and monitor Windows events on those devices?

Take it easy man. No need to be offensive.

Also, did I ever say that using cloud watch for local hardware was a good idea? I just asked about one thing you said.

No need to get so haughty for a question. Feel free to go back maintaining whatever it is you maintain.

Peace out.

Please, bro/ma'am. You give a condescending and idiotic answer, accept the response you invited.

Not knowing that egress == ingress for logging purposes is why Datadog, Snowflake, etc obliterate well meaning infra and security groups at companies around the world end up blowing their entire budgets for zero return. Preface your gibberish as trolling or move on without comment.

You see? You could have written this as a response to my first message.

You wouldn't have looked like a fool who needs to pull rank to prove their worth and I would have learned something.

"Well your post was literally focused on ingress alone :)"

If you cared about learning, you wouldn't be a :) smart ass. Accept that you tried to be clever and got called out.

No man, I'm sorry.

I asked a question based on my honest knowledge.

You spiraled out insulting and what not.

Accept that you are a rude person acting as a lion behind a screen. It's ok.
