Azure network resources can be combined and managed through [Network Security Groups (NSGs)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/security-overview). NSG Flow Logs enable you to log 5-tuple flow information about all traffic through your NSGs. The raw flow logs are written to an Azure Storage account from where they can be further processed, analyzed, queried, or exported as needed.
