Monitor and Troubleshoot Network Connectivity
After learning about virtual desktop network connectivity and management, you as an admin must learn about different troubleshooting scenarios for using virtual desktop connectivity. There are different tools that can you use to troubleshoot the connectivity issues and diagnosis the problems.
Azure Virtual Desktop Monitoring
The Azure Network Watcher tool provides helps to monitor, diagnose, view metrics, and enable or disable logs for resources in an Azure virtual network. The Network Watcher is intended to monitor and repair the network health of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) products that include virtual machines, virtual networks, application gateways, and load balancers. Figure 4-37 gives you the general idea about the Azure Network Watcher tool.
