When setting up a VPN tunnel, the most common task is to enable monitoring in Azure Monitor to alert operation teams when the tunnel is down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Monitor provides a comparative suite of tools to monitor almost any service and action in Azure and also trigger automated actions in the forms of scripts, functions, runbooks and more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-monitoring-azure-vpn-tunnel-uptime\">Monitoring Azure VPN Tunnel Uptime <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our case, we have a VPN tunnel between two Azure regions, and we will set up a monitoring rule that will monitor Ingress traffic (income). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will use an Azure Monitor signal called Tunnel Ingress Packets to monitor the ingress packets coming into the Virtual Network Gateway tunnel. If the total number of packets is less than or equal to 0, the tunnel is down and needs to be checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-rule\">Create Rule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To set up the monitoring rule, Open your Azure Network Gateway Tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on Alerts from the Monitoring section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"170\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-18.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-379 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 256px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 256\/170;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Condition section, Select the following settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Singal name &#8211; Tunnel Ingress Packets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Threshold &#8211; Static <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aggregation type &#8211; Total <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operator &#8211; Less than or equal to<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unit &#8211; Count <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Threshold value &#8211; 0 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"433\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-17.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-378 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-17.png 840w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-17-300x155.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-17-768x396.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-17-480x247.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 840px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 840\/433;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click next and set up your action group users.
