So I have an on premise physical machine and I want to monitor the connection between that machine and virtual machines that are in azure that the machine is supposed to be able to connect to. We have our on premise network peered with our azure cloud network. I have added the agents but when I go to connection monitor, I cannot get a test to work. I have tried TCP and HTTP test but I keep getting it stuck in indeterminate. I just realized that my virtual machines are located in the USWest3 region. I know network watcher it not supported in West3 region. is this the cause?

@18203024 , Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well. I understand that you are trying to configure a Connection Monitor with OnPrem Agent . Can you specify what exactly is the issue? Is the OnPrem EndPoint not available from the drop down when you select Non–Azure endpoints tab? I take it that this is the case, if not, please let me know. Can you confirm if the following steps are done? Install Log Analytics agent on Windows computers Enable the Network Performance Monitor solution for on-premises machines Enable Network Watcher on your subscription Can you confirm if you have met the Network requirements of the Log Analytics agent ? Make sure both Firewall and Proxy requirements are met If all the above are done, you should be able to verify this. See : Verify agent connectivity to Azure Monitor 1.You should see something like this Can you please share a screenshot of successful verification from your OnPrem device like above? Cheers, Kapil

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you are trying to configure a Connection Monitor with OnPrem Agent.

Can you specify what exactly is the issue?

Is the OnPrem EndPoint not available from the drop down when you select Non–Azure endpoints tab?

I take it that this is the case, if not, please let me know.

Can you confirm if the following steps are done?

Install Log Analytics agent on Windows computers

Enable the Network Performance Monitor solution for on-premises machines

Enable Network Watcher on your subscription

Can you confirm if you have met the Network requirements of the Log Analytics agent?

Make sure both Firewall and Proxy requirements are met

If all the above are done, you should be able to verify this. See : Verify agent connectivity to Azure Monitor

Can you please share a screenshot of successful verification from your OnPrem device like above?

When I went to look for the documentation I saw it was for network performance monitor which is a separate tool.

I installed the MMA agent of the Log analytics workspace agent. I know it is being depreciated but the documentation I found seemed to direct me to that. I know there is the Azure monitor windows agent. Is that one more reliable and would I be able to use it for my case above? I'm looking to specifically monitor a connection between the on premise workstation and an azure VM.

I do not currently have access to the device on prem but yes It does connect to the workspace. I have also been able to verify this in the logs in azure.
My issue is pictured below. I have met all the requirements but the device is listed as indeterminate. When clicking the connection monitor I have setup, I see the nothing to display because the tests are not running properly.

@18203024 ,

Thanks for the info.

How many Connection Monitors have you created? (using the same OnPrem machine)

Are you facing the issue with every Connection Monitor.

Based on your screenshots, I am not sure how you concluded this issue is caused by the OnPrem agent and not something else.

Is this a new set up or was this previously working but suddenly resulted in this issue.

In case of a new setup, can you delete and recreate this connection monitor?

Generally, if you were able to select the OnPrem Agent via the "Non-Azure EndPoints", it means that the OnPrem server is visible to Azure

Is the OnPrem server running 24*7, because

While monitoring endpoints, Connection monitor reevaluates the status of endpoints once every 24 hours. Hence, in case a VM gets deallocated or is turned-off during a 24-hour cycle, Connection monitor would report an indeterminate state due to absence of data in the network path until the end of the 24-hour cycle before reevaluating the status of the VM and reporting the VM status as deallocated.

Please create a new connection monitor and share the details of the TestGroup configurations.

Cheers,

Kapil
