Azure Front Door. How to see if a backend host name that is unhealthy is removed from being called by Backend Pool.

When a backend host name, that is part of a Backend Pool, is unhealthy, how can I be sure it is removed from the backend routing pool. Azure Traffic Manager shows the endpoint as 'degraded'. Is there anything in Front Door that will give me the same feedback or do I have to look at the Backend Health Percentage metrics?

    @Matt Watkins

    Thank you for reaching out on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Currently such functionality similar to Traffic manager is not available for Azure Front Door. As mentioned by you above the Origin Health Percentage metric will provide this information.

    You can also take a look at Health Probe logs to get more information on origin failure.

    It will be also helpful if you can create a feedback item for this request on the feedback portal.

    Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
