In March last year, I did an overview of the new Connection Monitor capabilities (check the following link<\/a>). Since then Microsoft team published the service in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the rebranding of Connection Monitor (public preview), and swapping with the old one – Connection Monitor (classic) there are certain functional capabilities, introduced in the release. In that context, the pricing of the service itself, is also announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has changed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since the Public Preview, some functionalities were amended, and some are new. The tool aims at end-to-end connection monitoring. Still, the main usage scenario relates either to a virtual machine, with focus on endpoints in Azure, other cloud providers, on-premises environment. They have improved the detection capabilities in hybrid deployments, and it tightly integrates with Log Analytics for historical data keeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These enhanced capabilities provide better visualization and analysis capabilities between these three worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the feature is out of preview, this means charges will apply to ones that already use the service or plan to use it. Corresponding charges for logs ingested and metric or log-based alerts created to the Azure Log Analytics<\/a> service will be additional to these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each month, 10 tests are included free of charge. And then the following charges apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migrating the service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you already used the Network Performance Monitor, the migration is seamless without any downtime. Migration process will produce the following results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
