    You are going to run into more problems than that with a Linux Collector. LogicMonitor doesn't let you use a PowerShell script via a Linux Collector. Generally, the easiest way to monitor Active Directory, is to install the collector directly on the Domain Controller.

By "AD Sync" do you mean Active Directory Sync do you mean AD replication between domain controllers, or ADConnect (aka DirSync) which syncs AD with M365/AzureAD/EntraID?

If it's ADConnect I would normally use the MSOnline module and Get-MsolCompanyInformation's LastDirSyncTime but this module likely requires Windows. It does seem that MS Graph API does seem have access to sync info, although it may take some work to write up the code to directly query Graph API.
