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

View the latency report

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

    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.
