--- title: Azure Express Route description: Track key Azure Express Route metrics. breadcrumbs: Docs > Integrations > Azure Express Route --- # Azure Express Route ## Overview{% #overview %} Use the Azure ExpressRoute service to extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider. Use the Datadog Azure integration to collect metrics from Azure ExpressRoute. ## Setup{% #setup %} ### Installation{% #installation %} If you haven't already, set up the [Microsoft Azure integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/azure/) first. There are no other installation steps. ## Data Collected{% #data-collected %} ### Metrics{% #metrics %} | | | | | **azure.network\_expressroutecircuits.arp\_availability**(gauge) | ARP Availability
