Understanding the network monitoring tools of Network Watcher

Network Watcher's monitoring tools are useful for gaining valuable insight into the current status of our Azure networks. There are two main tools that fall into this category – topology visualization and Connection Monitor. Let us review their functionalities.

Topology visualization

As VNets grow in size and complexity, it becomes challenging to understand the resources that they contain and the relationships between them. The topology visualization tool in Network Watcher addresses this challenge by providing network administrators and engineers with the ability to visualize the network topology.

By using this tool, administrators can create a visual representation of the resources within a VNet and their relationships. An editable version of the picture can also be downloaded in the SVG format. This helps to easily determine the subnets within a VNet, the network interfaces connected to each subnet...
