Install monitoring agents for Azure and non-Azure resources
Connection monitor relies on lightweight executable files to run connectivity checks. It supports connectivity checks from both Azure and on-premises environments. The executable file that you use depends on whether your virtual machine (VM) is hosted on Azure or on-premises.
Agents for Azure virtual machines and scale sets
To install agents for Azure virtual machines and Virtual Machine Scale Sets, see Monitoring connectivity from Azure virtual machines and virtual machine scale sets.
Agents for on-premises machines
To make connection monitor recognize your on-premises machines as sources for monitoring, follow these steps:
-
Enable your hybrid endpoints to Azure Arc-enabled servers.
-
Connect hybrid machines by installing the Azure Connected Machine agent on each machine.
This agent doesn’t deliver any other functionality, and it doesn’t replace Azure Monitor agent. The Azure Connected Machine agent simply enables you to manage the Windows and Linux machines that are hosted outside of Azure on your corporate network or other cloud providers.
-
Install Azure Monitor agent to enable the Network Watcher extension.
The agent collects monitoring logs and data from the hybrid sources and delivers them to Azure Monitor.
