Peering Service monitoring and telemetry walkthrough

In this article, as an Internet peering partner (direct or exchange), you learn how to use the Azure portal to view various metrics associated with a direct or exchange peering.

View received routes

You can view the routes announced to Microsoft in the Azure portal:

1. Go to the peering, and then under the Settings, select Received Routes.

   

View peering metrics

You can view the following metrics for a peering in the Connections page of a peering:

• Session availability
• Ingress traffic rate
• Egress traffic rate
• Flap events count
• Packet drop rate

View registered prefix latency

As an Azure Peering Service partner or communication services partner, you can view your registered prefix latency in the Overview page of the registered prefix.

View customer prefix latency

As an Azure Peering Service Exchange Route Server partner, you can view the average latency for all of your customer prefixes in the Overview page of the registered ASN.

View Peering Service metrics

All Peering Service resources display the session availability metric for their Peering Service in the Overview page of a Peering Service resource.

• Provider primary peering session availability: indicates the state of the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) session between the Peering Service provider and Microsoft at the primary peering location.

• Provider backup peering session availability: indicates the state of the BGP session between the Peering Service provider and Microsoft at the backup peering location if there's one selected for the Peering Service.

  

View peering service prefix metrics

All Peering Service prefix resources display the following metrics for their Peering Service prefix in their Peering Service page.

• Peering service prefix latency: shows the median latencies observed over time for prefixes registered under a Peering Service. Latency for prefixes that are smaller than /24 are shown at the /24 level.

  

• Peering service prefix events: shows various BGP events like route announcements, withdrawals and routes becoming active on the primary or backup links for each prefix in the Prefix events page of the Peering Service prefix.
