Set up monitoring: Auto-Discover and manage which networks are visible in NPM.Configure network security group (NSG) rules to allow the monitoring agent installed on Azure VMs to communicate with on-premises monitoring agents.Configure settings on the monitoring agent servers to allow the monitoring agents to communicate.
#HOW TO INSTALL SOLARWINDS NETWORK PERFORMANCE MONITOR INSTALL#
Install monitoring agents on the on-premises servers and the Azure VMs (for private peering).(If you only want to monitor over Microsoft Peering, you do not need to install and configure software agents.): Install and configure software agents.This is the same as a Log Analytics workspace. The communication between the agents allows Azure to map the network topology and path the traffic could take. The agents communicate with each other, but do not send data, they send TCP handshake packets. Monitoring agents are installed on multiple servers, both on-premises and in Azure. See the ExpressRoute system state from a previous point in time Get throughput per virtual network (If you have agents installed in each VNet) Help determine a specific segment on the network that is responsible for degraded performance Troubleshoot transient and point-in-time network issues that are difficult to replicate Monitor all paths (including redundant paths) on the network Monitor loss and latency across various VNets and set alerts See Azure Monitor terminology changes for details. We are updating the terminology to better reflect the role of logs in Azure Monitor. Log data is still stored in a Log Analytics workspace and is still collected and analyzed by the same Log Analytics service. This article was recently updated to use the term Azure Monitor logs instead of Log Analytics.
