Network metrics on VM

Hello!

 

I'm looking at my VM's metrics (Monitoring->Metrics), and wodening what is the difference between below ones:

 

Netwokr in (billable) vs Netwokr in total, and the same question about network out.

I know it's a network traffic, but does this traffic include any internal (within vnet) traffic, backup, etc?

 

Thanks for info!

 

Best Regards,

Luk

    Hi 

    You can find for each diagnostic setting metric the description  

    Azure Monitor supported metrics by resource type - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Docs

    Network Out Billable (Deprecated)The number of billable bytes out on all network interfaces by the Virtual Machine(s) (Outgoing Traffic) (Deprecated)

    Network billable metric is deprecated and you shouldn't use it in your analysis. You'd need to use Total Network In/Out instead!

    Hope this helps!
