You can become aware of critical Azure LB metrics such as *Data Path Availability*, *Health Probe Status*, and *SNAT Connection Count*. Configure alerts to get notified when data path availability falls to zero as this might mean that all the VMs in the associated backend pool are being probed. Monitor Azure Load Balancer's health probe status and ensure that it doesn't match user defined probed-up percentage of total pool size value to prevent VM shortages that may lead to unserved traffic. ![Azure Load Balancer Monitoring - ManageEngine Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/azure-load-balancer-overview.png) ## Monitor front end statistics With Applications Manager's Azure Load balancer monitor, gain insights into various front-end IP related metrics. Keep a close eye on the number of SNAT ports used and allocated to understand application dependency on outbound originated flows. Configure alarms to get notified when the values go beyond a set threshold. Track the number of SYN packets received to get to know how many TCP connection attempts were made. ![Azure Load Balancer Monitoring Tool - ManageEngine Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/azure-load-balancer-frontend-stats.png) You can also view the top 5 frontend IP addresses by SNAT connection count to get an overview of the performance at a single glance. ![Azure Load Balancer Performance Metrics - ManageEngine Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/azure-load-balancer-frontend-graph.png) ## Track backend statistics Applications Manager's **Azure LB monitoring** tool also gives you extensive details about critical backend metrics. Monitor the backend health probe status to get to know the health of your application through the load balancer's perspective using the health probe configuration. ![Azure LB Monitoring - ManageEngine Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/azure-load-balancer-backend-stats.png) Track the number of failed SNAT connections and troubleshoot issues before it can affect application performance. ![Azure Standard Load Balancer Monitoring - ManageEngine Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/azure-load-balancer-backend-graph.png) ## Gain insights into load balancer configuration You can also gain extensive insights into the IP configurations of your Azure Load Balancer.
