You can use [network security groups](../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md) to filter and control inbound and outbound network traffic to and from your Azure resources. You can also use [Azure Virtual Network Manager](../virtual-network-manager/overview.md) to apply admin security rules to your Azure resources to control network traffic.

[Network Watcher](./network-watcher-monitoring-overview.md) provides a suite of tools to monitor, diagnose, view metrics, and enable or disable logs for IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) resources, which include virtual machines, virtual networks, application gateways, load balancers, and other resources in an Azure virtual network. It isn't a solution for monitoring PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) infrastructure or getting web/mobile analytics.

**NSG diagnostics** allows you to detect traffic filtering issues at a virtual machine, virtual machine scale set, or application gateway level. It checks if a packet is allowed or denied to or from an IP address, IP prefix, or a service tag. It tells you which security rule allowed or denied the traffic. It also allows you to add a new security rule with a higher priority to allow or deny the traffic. For more information, see [NSG diagnostics overview](network-watcher-network-configuration-diagnostics-overview.md) and [Diagnose network security rules](diagnose-network-security-rules.md).
