Query returns external IPs (but VM has only private IPs)

Hello,

I use Azure Log Analytics and have this query:

 

"Heartbeat | where OSType == 'Windows'| summarize arg_max(TimeGenerated, *) by SourceComputerId | sort by Computer | render table"

 

In response, I get external IPs in the ComputerIP column (Example 40.68.38.236).
What is it about the IPs?

Since these VMs only use private IPs.

 

Regards

Stefan

    even if an Azure computer is not associated to a Public IP via a NIC, Load Balancer, etc., when it does outbound Internet requests, SNAT comes into play and an IP from a pool of Azure IPs is assigned to your resource (more details here).
