Starting 1 July 2021, you will not be able to add new tests in an existing workspace or enable a new workspace with Network Performance Monitor. Use Connection Monitor now. To migrate existing tests in NPM Learn how to migrate to connection monitor from NPM.

Network Performance Monitor (NPM) is a cloud-based hybrid network monitoring solution that helps you monitor network performance between various points in your network infrastructure, monitor network connectivity to applications and monitor the performance of your Azure ExpressRoute.

NETWORK MONITORING FOR CLOUD AND ON-PREMISES ENVIRONMENTS

Monitor network connectivity across cloud deployments and on-premises locations, remote branch & field offices, store locations and data centers. With NPM's Performance Monitor, you can:

• Monitor loss and latency across various subnets and set alerts

• Monitor all paths (including redundant paths) on the network

• Troubleshoot transient & point-in-time network issues, that are difficult to replicate

• Isolate slowdowns by identifying problem spots along the network path, with latency data on each hop

MONITOR NETWORK CONNECTIVITY TO APPLICATIONS

Monitor network connectivity from your users to the applications you care about, determine what infrastructure is in the path, and where network bottlenecks are occurring. Key advantages of NPM's Service Endpoint Monitor are:

• Monitor the network connectivity to your applications and network services from multiple branch offices/locations

• Determine whether poor application performance is because of the network or because of the application

• Determine the response time, network latency, packet loss experienced when connecting to the endpoint

• Identify hot spots on the network that may be causing poor application performance by viewing the latency contributed by each hop on a topology map

• Built-in tests to monitor network connectivity to Office365 and Dynamics365 endpoints

NETWORK MONITORING FOR AZURE EXPRESSROUTE

Monitor end-to-end connectivity and performance between your branch offices and Azure, over Azure ExpressRoute. Key advantages of NPM's ExpressRoute Monitor are:

• Auto-detection of ExpressRoute circuits associated with your subscription

• Tracking of bandwidth utilization, loss and latency at the circuit, peering and VNet level for your ExpressRoute

• Discovery of network topology of your ExpressRoute circuits
