If you are like me and insist on keeping your Azure subscriptions
nice and tidy, with consistent naming of resource groups the default “NetworkWatcherRG”
resource group is bound to annoy you.
Network Watcher is a region level service which can be used
to troubleshoot network connectivity between your Azure resources. If you do
not want the “NetworkWatcherRG” resource group making things look untidy, the
trick is to create the instance of Network Watcher manually using Azure CLI or
PowerShell.
The example below creates a Network Watcher instance for UK
South in a designated resource group.
az login

az network watcher configure --resource-group "rb-core-rg-1" --locations uksouth --enabled
