Deploying DSC to a Linux node uses the /tmp folder. Modules such as nxautomation are temporarily downloaded for verification before installing them in their appropriate locations. To ensure that modules install correctly, the Log Analytics agent for Linux needs read/write permissions on the /tmp folder. The Log Analytics agent for Linux runs as the omsagent user. To grant >write permission to the omsagent user, run the command setfacl -m u:omsagent:rwx /tmp. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-dsc-onboarding#enable-azure-vms

The selected text states that when deploying Desired State Configuration (DSC) to a Linux node, the `/tmp` folder is used. DSC is a configuration management platform that allows you to define the desired state of your infrastructure and automatically apply that state to your nodes. When deploying DSC to a Linux node, the `/tmp` folder is used as a temporary location for storing files and scripts that are required during the deployment process.

To grant the Log Analytics agent the appropriate directory permissions, you should complete the command as follows: `setfacl -m u:omsagent:rwx /etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/sysconf/omsagent.d/`. This command grants the `omsagent` user read, write, and execute (`rwx`) permissions on the `/etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/sysconf/omsagent.d/` directory.
