## Understand DDoS performance

Identify if your network is under DDoS attack. You can configure an alarm for the *Under DDoS attack or not* metric to trigger an alert when an attack is detected, enabling you to take immediate action to mitigate the threat. With Applications Manager's Azure virtual network monitor, track various attack related KPIs.

- Become aware of bytes/packets dropped to assess the impact of the attack on your network's capacity and performance.

## Common queries on Azure Virtual Machine monitor:

### What is Azure Virtual Network monitoring?

Azure virtual Network monitoring involves, monitoring, collecting, and tracking critical KPIs of the network's performance to facilitate instant issue detection and troubleshooting.

### What are DDoS attacks in Azure Virtual Networks?

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in Azure Virtual Networks involve malicious attempts to disrupt the normal functioning of network resources, services, or applications by overwhelming them with a massive amount of traffic. The intent behind these attacks is to deplete the network's available bandwidth, utilize up server resources, and ultimately make the intended resources inaccessible to authorized users.
