ExpressRoute Traffic Collector, is a service that enables deep visibility into traffic within ExpressRoute Circuits. The Traffic Collector aggregates flow logs from ER circuits and forwards them to Azure tools such as Log Analytics for network traffic analysis, visualization, and insights.

It also allowed me to create a fabulous network of like-minded women along the way. Many of them with many years of working experience in the IT industry.
