Azure Migrate collector enables offline discovery of IT esate. Using this lightweight tool, you can collect server configuration, performance, software inventory, and workload metadata without requiring connectivity to Azure during discovery. You can securely upload the collected data back to the Azure Migrate project you created. This approach is ideal for scenarios where quick discovery of your IT estate is required. It supports the discovery of VMware environments and physical or virtual servers in a hypervisor-agnostic approach.

> - For the collection of data about installed software, web apps and for identifying SQL/PostgreSQL server instances, collector doesn’t need network line of sight to guest machines. The guest data collection is done via the ESXi hosts using the installed VMware tools. However, for collecting readiness data directly from database instances, collector must have network line of sight to the target SQL server instances.
