Access Peering Service connection telemetry

Connection telemetry provides insights collected for the connectivity between the customer's location and the Microsoft network.

In this article, you learn how to access your Peering Service connection telemetry to view the latency report and prefix states for the Peering Service connection.

Prerequisites

• An Azure account with an active subscription. Create an account for free.

• A Peering Service connection. To learn how to create a connection, see Create, change, or delete a Peering Service connection.

View the latency report

To view the latency report for a specific Peering Service connection, follow these steps.

1. In the search box at the top of the portal, enter Peering Service. Select Peering Services in the search results.

   

2. Select the Peering Service connection that you want to view its latency report.

   

3. Under Settings, select Prefixes to see the prefixes associated with the Peering Service connection.

   

4. Select the prefix that you want to view its latency report. From Show data for last, you can see the prefix latency for the last 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days.

   

   Note

   Prefix latency data for prefixes smaller than /24 is approximated at /24. This is because we can view the client IP addresses on the measurements only with a resolution of /24 or higher due to compliance reasons.

View prefix state report

To view events for a specific prefix, select the prefix name and select Prefix events under Diagnostic. The events that are captured are listed.

Some of the possible events that are captured in the Prefix events list are shown in the following table.

Event type	Event impact	Details
PrefixAnnouncementEvent	Information	Prefix announcement was received.
PrefixWithdrawalEvent	Warning	Prefix withdrawal was received.
PrefixBackupRouteAnnouncementEvent	Information	Prefix backup route announcement was received.
PrefixBackupRouteWithdrawalEvent	Warning	Prefix backup route withdrawal was received.
PrefixActivePath	Information	Current prefix active route.
PrefixBackupPath	Information	Current prefix backup route.
PrefixOriginAsChangeEvent	Critical	Exact prefix received with different origin autonomous system number (for active route).
PrefixBackupRouteOriginAsChangeEvent	Error	Prefix received with different origin autonomous system number (for backup route).
