Understanding the Network diagnostic tools of Network Watcher

Network Watcher’s diagnostic tools are useful for troubleshooting and identifying the root cause of network-related problems. There are seven main tools that fall into this category – connection troubleshoot, IP flow verify, NSG diagnostics, next hop, VPN troubleshoot, packet capture, and effective security rules. In this section, we will explore six of these tools, starting with connection troubleshoot.
