Microsoft Azure Network Watcher Connection is a feature within Azure Network Watcher that provides connectivity monitoring capabilities for resources deployed within Azure. The Network Watcher Connection feature allows users to monitor and diagnose network connectivity between Azure resources, such as virtual machines, application gateways, and load balancers.
Application Manager's Azure Network Watcher Connection Monitoring tool provides a comprehensive solution for monitoring and diagnosing connectivity within your Azure environment. This monitoring capability allows you to analyze network connectivity between Azure resources, enabling you to identify issues, troubleshoot problems, and ensure optimal performance.
