This agent combines logging and metrics into a single agent, providing YAML-based configurations for collecting your logs and metrics, and features high-throughput logging. You can configure the Ops Agent to collect logs from [supported third-party applications](/logging/docs/agent/ops-agent/third-party).\n- [**Legacy Logging agent**](/logging/docs/agent/logging): Streams logs from common third-party applications and system software to Cloud Logging. You can configure the agent to stream additional logs.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n**Note:** There will be no new feature development or support for new operating systems for the legacy Logging agent. We recommend that you use the [Ops Agent](/logging/docs/agent/ops-agent) for new workloads and eventually transition your existing VMs to use the Ops Agent. \n[### Ops Agent\nView docs](/logging/docs/agent/ops-agent) \n[### Legacy Logging agent\nView docs](/logging/docs/agent/logging)\n\nTry it for yourself\n-------------------\n\n\nIf you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how\nGoogle Cloud Observability performs in real-world\nscenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and\ndeploy workloads.\n[Try Google Cloud Observability free](https://console.cloud.google.com/freetrial)"]]
