Where did the Network Watcher Azure extension go for WIndows?

I need to install the Network Watcher extension on a few Windows VM's for Connection Monitor.
But when I try to search for the extension, there are no results for it.
I'm searching for "Network Watcher Agent for Windows extension". The Linux extension is there, but not Windows.

I see there are PS commands for this that might work, but why do results in the GUI Extensions blade?

Thanks

Hi mij2020-6135,

The agent for windows seems to be available only on windows server:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/network-watcher-windows

Are you trying to install the agent on a windows server VM?

Hope this helps!

Hi Cristian,
Yes installing the Network Watcher extension for Windows.
I have used Powershell to install successfully now.
But thought it was strange that I can install the extension for Linux via GUI in portal, but not the extension for Windows.
