description Network Insights Overview
Network Insights within Azure Monitor offers detailed visibility into your Azure virtual networks and connected services. It visualizes network topologies, collects real-time performance metrics from resources such as Load Balancers and VPN Gateways, and provides diagnostic data for troubleshooting connectivity issues. This capability is valuable for IT professionals, security teams, and DevOps engineers managing cloud native environments who require proactive monitoring and rapid identification of networking problems.
help Network Insights FAQ
What does Network Insights show in Azure Monitor?
Network Insights combines Azure network visualizations and diagnostics, including topology and performance information for services such as virtual networks, load balancers, and VPN gateways. It is built around Azure Monitor and Network Watcher data rather than being a separate physical monitoring appliance.
Does Network Insights show the topology of an Azure virtual network?
Yes, its topology views can show relationships among virtual networks, subnets, network interfaces, and connected resources. The level of detail depends on the resources enabled and the permissions available to the viewer.
Can Azure Network Insights diagnose a VPN connectivity problem?
It can help by exposing connection and performance data, especially when used with Network Watcher tools such as Connection Monitor. It does not automatically fix every routing, firewall, or gateway configuration error, so the diagnostic result still needs to be mapped to the network settings.
Does Network Insights include traffic analytics?
Traffic Analytics is a related Network Watcher capability that sends flow information to Azure Monitor Logs for analysis. It normally requires the appropriate flow-log and Log Analytics configuration, so simply opening the Network Insights view does not guarantee historical traffic data.
