Graphical View of connected Resources in Azure

Question

I know we have Network Watcher to view the Network topology . Similarly do we have a resource map to view the connected resources. For example I have a VM which has Boot diagnostics , LogInsights work space ID connected to them. I want a graphical representation of all these connected resources.

Answer 1

Hello, @K V Ashok !

What can I use to graphically map the connections between resources?

There are many visualizations in Azure but the two most popular tools for visually mapping the relationships between resources would be Network Watcher as you mentioned, and an application map from Application Insights:

An application map using Application Insights:

Network Watcher topology map:

It might also be worth mentioning VM Insights and perhaps Resource Graph depending on what you are looking for:

• Use the Map feature of VM insights to understand application components
• Azure Resource Graph
