Azure Advisor is a cloud-based service that provides personalized recommendations based on best practices and usage patterns. However, it is not a tool for network traffic analysis.
To analyze network traffic, you can use Azure Network Watcher. It is a monitoring and diagnostics service that provides a range of network-related insights. It can help you troubleshoot network issues and perform packet captures.
To analyze network traffic using Azure Network Watcher, you can perform the following steps:
- Create a Network Watcher resource in the Azure portal.
- Enable packet capture on the target VM's network interface.
- Start packet capture using Network Watcher.
- Analyze the captured network traffic using tools such as Wireshark or Network Monitor.
- Stop and delete the packet capture when analysis is complete.
In summary, to analyze network traffic and determine whether packets are being allowed or denied to VMs, Azure Advisor cannot be used. Instead, Azure Network Watcher is the appropriate service for this purpose.
