Azure Virtual Network Gateway Monitoring Integration

Azure VPN gateway monitoring is vital for ensuring that your gateways are healthy and performing as expected. By monitoring your gateways, you can identify and troubleshoot problems early, before they impact your network connectivity. With Site24x7, you can proactively monitor Virtual Network gateways, set thresholds, and get instant alerts for critical issues like Tunnel failure, and BGP routes problems.

With Site24x7's integration, you can now monitor your virtual network gateways, set thresholds, and get instant alerts about critical issues.

Setup and configuration

You can add an Azure Virtual Network gateway while adding a new monitor or you can add it to an existing Azure monitor. Follow these steps to add the service.

Threshold configuration

Global configuration

Go to the Admin section in the left navigation pane.
Select Configuration Profiles from the left pane and choose the Threshold and Availability (+) tab from the drop-down menu. Click Add Threshold Profile from the top-right corner.
Set the monitor type as Azure Virtual Network Gateway. Now you can set the threshold values for all the metrics mentioned above.

Monitor-level configuration

Go to Cloud > Azure and select Azure Virtual Network Gateway from the drop-down menu.
Choose a resource for which you would like to set a threshold, then click the hamburger icon . Select Edit, which directs you to the Edit Azure Virtual Network Gateway Monitor page.

You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting Threshold and Availability. You can also configure IT Automation at the attribute level.

IT Automation

Site24x7's IT Automation tools help with automatically resolving performance degradation issues. When a breach occurs, the alarm engine continuously examines the system events for which thresholds have been defined and performs the mapped automation.

Configuration Rules

With Site24x7's Configuration Rules, you can set parameters like Threshold Profile, Notification Profile, Tags, and Monitor Group for multiple monitors and automate the configuration settings of your monitoring resources.
