-| Data path availability (VIP availability)| Public and internal load balancer | Standard Load Balancer continuously exercises the data path from within a region to the load balancer front end, all the way to the SDN stack that supports your VM. As long as healthy instances remain, the measurement follows the same path as your application's load-balanced traffic. The data path that your customers use is also validated. The measurement is invisible to your application and does not interfere with other operations.| Average |
-| Health probe status(DIP availability) | Public and internal load balancer | Standard Load Balancer uses a distributed health-probing service that monitors your application endpoint's health according to your configuration settings. This metric provides an aggregate or per-endpoint filtered view of each instance endpoint in the load balancer pool. You can see how Load Balancer views the health of your application, as indicated by your health probe configuration. |  Average |

Source network address translation (SNAT) ports are an exhaustible resource. This metric can give an indication of how heavily your application is relying on SNAT for outbound originated flows. Counters for successful and failed outbound SNAT flows are reported and can be used to troubleshoot and understand the health of your outbound flows.| Average |

 A packet matching your deployment's front end and rule is generated periodically. It traverses the region from the source to the host where a VM in the back-end pool is located. The load balancer infrastructure performs the same load balancing and translation operations as it does for all other traffic. This probe is in-band on your load-balanced endpoint. After the probe arrives on the compute host, where a healthy VM in the back-end pool is located, the compute host generates a response to the probing service. Your VM does not see this traffic.

 The health probe status metric describes the health of your application deployment as configured by you when you configure the health probe of your load balancer. The load balancer uses the status of the health probe to determine where to send new flows. Health probes originate from an Azure infrastructure address and are visible within the guest OS of the VM.

 The chart displays the following information:
-- The infrastructure hosting your VMs was unavailable and at 0 percent at the beginning of the chart. Later, the infrastructure was healthy and the VMs were reachable, and more than one VM was placed in the back end. This information is indicated by the blue trace for data path availability (VIP availability), which was later at 100 percent.

 The chart allows customers to troubleshoot the deployment on their own without having to guess or ask support whether other issues are occurring. The service was unavailable because health probes were failing due to either a misconfiguration or a failed application.
