>**NOTE:** This data connector depends on a parser based on a Kusto Function to work as expected which is deployed as part of the solution. To view the function code in Log Analytics, open Log Analytics/Microsoft Sentinel Logs blade, click Functions and search for the alias ApacheHTTPServer and load the function code or click [here](https://aka.ms/sentinel-apachehttpserver-parser). The function usually takes 10-15 minutes to activate after solution installation/update.
1. Install and onboard the agent for Linux or Windows
Install the agent on the Apache HTTP Server where the logs are generated.
> Logs from Apache HTTP Server deployed on Linux or Windows servers are collected by **Linux** or **Windows** agents.
Choose where to install the Linux agent:
Install agent on Azure Linux Virtual Machine
Select the machine to install the agent on and then click **Connect**.
Install agent on a non-Azure Linux Machine
Download the agent on the relevant machine and follow the instructions.
Choose where to install the Windows agent:
Install agent on Azure Windows Virtual Machine
Select the machine to install the agent on and then click **Connect**.
Install agent on a non-Azure Windows Machine
Download the agent on the relevant machine and follow the instructions.
2. Configure the logs to be collected
Configure the custom log directory to be collected
1. Select the link above to open your workspace advanced settings
2. From the left pane, select **Data**, select **Custom Logs** and click **Add+**
3. Click **Browse** to upload a sample of a Apache HTTP Server log file (e.g. access.log or error.log). Then, click **Next >**
4. Select **New line** as the record delimiter and click **Next >**
5. Select **Windows** or **Linux** and enter the path to Apache HTTP logs based on your configuration. Example:
