Azure Network Watcher is a powerful tool for keeping track of network resources within the Azure environment. It offers capabilities to both monitor and troubleshoot any potential performance issues, such as IP Flow Verify, NSG Flow Logs, End-to-End Connection Troubleshooting, Port Scanning & Security Assessment. Azure Network Watcher provides an ideal solution for detecting and resolving possible network errors in a timely manner as well as ensuring network security by conducting detailed scans on ports and protocols. Furthermore, this tool also allows you to measure the performance of your networking resources at any given time in order to prevent future problems that could potentially arise due to slow or inadequate networks speeds or connectivity issues.
Monitoring the health of network services is an essential task for businesses using Azure. Regularly monitoring networks with services such as Application Insights or Cloud Monitoring Services enables you to detect and take corrective action on problems before they become major issues. This proactive approach helps ensure smooth communication between external locations in Azure and internal resources, such as emails or data storage systems, is maintained at all times. Additionally, regular checks give organizations peace of mind that their online assets remain secure and accessible when needed.
