Hi,
I have a network watcher setup in West Europe, I also have a RG and resources within it (VMs, VNET) in West Europe.
But when I go to the topology view of the Network Watcher it doesn't allow me to see the resource group so I can't select it.

Hello @wisnia ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.
In order to view topology in Network Watcher, the respective resource group should have network resources and it is only for showing Network Components. The topology capability of Azure Network Watcher enables you to view all of the resources in a virtual network, the resources associated to resources in a virtual network, and the relationships between the resources. Network Watcher Topology will only support resource group which has at least one Vnet.
Refer : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/view-network-topology
I would request you to validate the resource group which you are trying to check in Network Watcher topology and confirm that it has at least 1 Vnet in it. If it doesn't have any Vnet in it, then Network watcher will not show it.
You could also try to use Azure PowerShell/CLI to view the topology.
Refer : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/view-network-topology#view-topology---powershell
Topology information is only returned for resources that are within the same resource group as the only you select and the same region as the network watcher. For example, a network security group that exists in a resource group other than the one you select, isn't shown, even if the network security group is associated to a subnet in the virtual network deployed in that particular resource group.
Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

I have the same error message when i working on the labs - LAB_06-Implement_Network_Traffic_Management.html
Repro steps: Followed the steps given in the lab
https://microsoftlearning.github.io/AZ-104-MicrosoftAzureAdministrator/Instructions/Labs/LAB_06-Implement_Network_Traffic_Management.html
In the Azure portal, search for and select Network Watcher.
On the Network Watcher blade, expand the listing of Azure regions and verify the service is enabled in region you are using.
On the Network Watcher blade, navigate to the Connection troubleshoot.
On the Network Watcher - Connection troubleshoot
under resource group - Resource group does not give the list of groups which i have created previously

The RG has a vNET in it and other components like VMs.
This is clearly a bug as multiple people tried it in different regions.
Hello @wisnia ,
I just tried to deploy a resource group and Vnet in West Europe and I'm able to see it in the topology drop down:


Could you please share a screenshot of your resource group with the resources listed in it?

Hello @wisnia ,
Could you please provide an update on this post & share a screenshot of your resource group with the resources listed in it as requested?
In case you are still unable to view the topology, we would like to investigate this issue further.
