Integration and Simplicity for Cloud Network Analysis
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
I used it to monitor, diagnose and view metrics for resources in Azure Network Watcher's virtual network (Virtual Machines, Virtual Networks, Application Gateways, Load balancers, etc..). The most important features that I used are: IP flow to verify if a packet is allowed/denied to/from a VM and next-hop to monitor traffic from between the VM and destination based on the effective routes associated with a network interface nic.
Pros
- View resources and theri relationship
- Diagnose network routing problems
- View security rules for a network interface
Cons
- Capture packets
- Diagnose network traffic filtering problems
- Diagnose ngs rules
Likelihood to Recommend
Azure Network Watcher is well-suited for cloud environment, it's necessary for the network troubleshooting. It is especially useful in where you have done integration with azure virtual wan and custom routes (udr) to control traffic in a hub & spoke network with Azure firewall. When the traffic is manipulated with udr, the troubleshooting at the routing level becomes important in some cases.
