Monitoring Networks in Azure

Network monitoring and diagnostics are essential components for maintaining the smooth functioning and optimal performance of a network infrastructure. This includes real-time monitoring of network services, systems, and traffic to detect problems early before they escalate into major disruptions. By identifying issues promptly, network engineers can take proactive measures to address them, minimizing network downtime and service interruptions. In this chapter, we will cover Azure services and tools that we can use to monitor and diagnose network services.
