We are pleased to announce the preview of a new feature to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/network-watcher\/network-watcher-connectivity-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check network connectivity<\/a> in a variety of scenarios when using VM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/network-watcher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Network Watcher<\/a> Connectivity Check feature helps to drastically reduce the amount of time needed to find and detect connectivity issues in the infrastructure. The results returned can provide valuable insights to whether a connectivity issue is due to a platform or a potential user configuration. Network Watcher Connectivity Check can be used from the Azure portal, using <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/network-watcher\/network-watcher-connectivity-powershell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PowerShell<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/network-watcher\/network-watcher-connectivity-cli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure CLI<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/network-watcher\/network-watcher-connectivity-rest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REST API<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connectivity Check is supported in a variety of scenarios \u2013 VM to a VM, VM to an external endpoint, and VM to an on-premise endpoint. Leveraging a common and typical network topology, the example below illustrates how Connectivity Check can help resolve network reachability issues using the Azure portal. There is a VNet hosting a multi-tier web application and four subnets, amongst which are an application subnet and a database subnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/9e882964-f10d-4e76-8a0e-f1ac87b0df3a.webp\" alt=\"Figure 1 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Multi-tier web application\" title=\"Figure 1 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Multi-tier web application\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 1 &#8211; Multi-tier web application<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the Azure portal, navigate to Azure Network Watcher and under Network Diagnostic Tools click on Connectivity Check. Once there, you can specify the Source and Destination VM and click the \u201cCheck\u201d button to begin the connectivity check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A status indicating <em>reachable<\/em> or <em>unreachable<\/em> is returned once the connectivity check completes. The number of hops, the minimum, average and maximum latency to reach the destination are also returned.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/a627761f-e4ac-4815-8481-38c926e03932.webp\" alt=\"graphical user interface\" class=\"wp-image-10925 webp-format\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/a627761f-e4ac-4815-8481-38c926e03932.webp\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 2 \u2013 Connectivity Check \u2013 access from portal<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this example, a connectivity check was done from the VM running the application tier to the VM running the database tier. The status is returned as <em>unreachable,<\/em> and it\u2019s important to note, one of the hops indicated a <em>red<\/em> status. Clicking on the hop indicates the presence of an NSG rule that is blocking all traffic, thereby blocking end-to-end connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Figure 3- Unreachable status\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/49147122-3b61-40be-a403-74c0de0a0771.webp\" alt=\"Figure 3- Unreachable status\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\"><em>Figure 3 &#8211; Unreachable status<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSG rule configuration error was rectified and a connectivity check was repeated as illustrated below, where the results now indicate an end-to-end connectivity. The network latency between source and destination, along with hop information is also provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/e4208702-0934-4244-8056-e061b026a1f5.webp\" alt=\"Figure 4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Reachable status\" title=\"Figure 4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Reachable status\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 4 &#8211; Reachable status<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The destination for Connectivity Check can be an IP address, an FQDN, or an ARM URI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe the Connectivity Check feature will give you deeper insights to network performance in Azure.
