Can Azure Network Watcher be used to diagnose app services?

Question

We have an App Service running behind an Azure Gateway and Azure WAF. App service connects with 2 APIs

• One API is running in an Azure VM
• The other API is running in another App service

---

1. Can we use Network Watcher to identify the delay in requests?
2. If yes can we use 'IP flow verify' component of Network Watcher?
3. Which other component in Network Watcher will we use?

NB: The question is specifically about "Network Watcher" not other monitoring tools in Azure.
