Azure Express Route enables you to create private connections between Azure data centers and infrastructure on premises or in a colocation environment.

Cisco Cloud Observability supports the following Azure Express Route entity:

  • Express Route Circuit: Represents a logical connection between your on-premises infrastructure and Microsoft cloud services through a connectivity provider.

You must configure cloud connections to monitor this entity. See Configure Azure Cloud Connection.

Cisco Cloud Observability displays Azure entities on the Observe page. Metrics are displayed for specific entity instances in the list and detail views.
