New and improved network topology experience in Network Watcher and Azure Monitor Network Insights
Azure Network Watcher provides network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to increase observability and actionable insights. Network Watcher supports four main scenarios: Connectivity Monitoring detects packet loss and latency, built-in health metrics and topology visualization help to locate issues, traffic monitoring tracks network communication pattern, and diagnostics suite enables troubleshooting. Efficient management and monitoring of cloud networks is crucial for peak performance, security, and reliability. The blog explains how the new topology experience can help you manage and monitor your cloud network infrastructure with enhanced visualization, simplified monitoring, valuable insights and contextual issue localization capabilities.
Build an Azure Logic App to send an alert when the provisioning state changes for your Azure VWAN
Have you ever thought about monitoring your VWAN provisioning state? In today’s dynamic cloud environment, it’s crucial to have a good monitoring system in place for your Azure resources especially your networking resources. In this blog, I am going to show you step-by-step how to create an Azure Logic App that will notify you whenever the provisioning status of your Azure Virtual WAN changes to another state other than “Succeeded”. Note: As of the time I am writing this blog, Microsoft doesn’t support alerts based on Metrics for Azure Virtual WAN. You can still retrieve information for the components that shape up the Virtual WAN for example, VPN site-site connections, BGP peers, virtual hubs, etc. However, you won’t be able to configure diagnostic logs for virtual WAN at this time. Good news — There’s an alternate way to be alerted via an Azure Logic App
