About this tag
The data collector api tag covers Microsoft’s Azure Monitor legacy HTTP Data Collector API and its end-of-support timeline. Current coverage focuses on the September 14, 2026 deadline, while clarifying that existing TLS 1.2-compliant senders are not scheduled to stop ingesting on that date.
