Lab - Connection Monitor with Bicep

This repo is a lab to play with Connection Monitor, part of Network Watcher.

• Monitor connectivity between hubVM and spoke02 Azure VM on SSH protocol every 30 seconds.
• Monitor connectivity between hubVM and onprem VM (using its private IP address instead of Azure Resource Id) on SSH protocol every 30 seconds.
• Monitor connectivity between spoke02VM Azure VM and public URL http://ident.me on HTTP protocol every 30 seconds.
