To enable connection monitoring, ensure that the NSG and firewall rules allow packets over TCP or ICMP between the source and destination. Connection Monitor detects this issue and shows it as a diagnostics message in the topology. Rules for a network security group (NSG) or firewall can block communication between the source and destination. Follow similar steps for enabling the You can also separately install, configure, and troubleshoot the Network Watcher extension for Linux and Windows.

#Azure network watcher install

You can install the Network Watcher extension when you create a VM or when you create a VM scale set. Azure Virtual Machines and scale sets require the extension to trigger end-to-end monitoring and other advanced functionality. This extension is also known as the Network Watcher extension. To make Connection Monitor recognize your Azure VMs or virtual machine scale sets as monitoring sources, install the Network Watcher Agent virtual machine extension on them. Agents for Azure Virtual Machines and virtual machine scale sets The executable file that you use depends on whether your VM is hosted on Azure or on-premises. It supports connectivity checks from both Azure environments and on-premises environments.

Install monitoring agentsĬonnection Monitor now supports auto enablement of monitoring extensions for Azure & Non-Azure endpoints, thus eliminating the need for manual installation of monitoring solutions during the creation of Connection Monitor.Ĭonnection Monitor relies on lightweight executable files to run connectivity checks. The following sections provide details for these steps.

Analyze monitoring data and set alerts.Enable Network Watcher on your subscription.To start using Connection Monitor for monitoring, do the following: Metrics and Log Analytics support for both Azure and non-Azure test setups.Support for connectivity checks that are based on HTTP, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).Faster alerting for your hybrid deployments.Higher probing frequencies and better visibility into network performance.Cross-region, cross-workspace connectivity monitoring.Unified, intuitive experience for Azure and hybrid monitoring needs.Here are some benefits of Connection Monitor: You want to check the connectivity from single or multiple instances of an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set to your Azure or Non-Azure multi-tier application.Ĭonnection Monitor combines the best of two features: the Network Watcher Connection Monitor (Classic) feature and the Network Performance Monitor Service Connectivity Monitor, ExpressRoute Monitoring, and Performance monitoring feature.You want to check the connectivity between your on-premises setups and the Azure VMs/virtual machine scale sets that host your cloud application.You want to compare the latencies of the on-premises site with the latencies of the Azure application. Your on-premises site and your Azure application connect to the same endpoint. Your hybrid application needs connectivity to an Azure storage account endpoint.

For your users of Microsoft 365 URLs, you want to compare the latencies between Seattle and Ashburn. Your office sites connect to Microsoft 365 URLs. You have multiple on-premises office sites, one in Seattle, Washington, for example, and another in Ashburn, Virginia.You want VMs/scale sets in, for example, the East US region to ping VMs/scale sets in the Central US region, and you want to compare cross-region network latencies.You want to check network connectivity between the two VM/or scale sets. Your front-end web server virtual machine (VM) or virtual machine scale set (VMSS) communicates with a database server VM in a multi-tier application.Here are some use cases for Connection Monitor: Network Watcher provides tools to monitor, diagnose, and view connectivity-related metrics for your Azure deployments. The Connection Monitor feature supports hybrid and Azure cloud deployments. Connection Monitor will now support end-to-end connectivity checks from and to Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets, enabling faster performance monitoring and network troubleshooting across scale setsĬonnection Monitor provides unified, end-to-end connection monitoring in Azure Network Watcher.
