The solution provided appears to meet the goal of inspecting all the network traffic from VM1 to VM2 for a period of three hours.

Azure Network Watcher provides a set of tools and services that can help you monitor, diagnose, and gain insights into your Azure network. One of the services it provides is Packet Capture, which allows you to capture network traffic on a specific virtual machine or subnet.

To use Packet Capture to inspect the network traffic between VM1 and VM2, you would need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the Network Watcher service.
  2. Click on Packet capture in the menu and select "New capture" to create a new packet capture.
  3. In the New packet capture blade, select the virtual network (VNet1) that hosts VM1 and VM2.
  4. Select VM1 as the source and VM2 as the destination for the capture.
  5. Choose a capture duration of three hours and set any other options as needed.
  6. Start the capture.

Once the capture is complete, you can download the captured data and analyze it using a network protocol analyzer such as Wireshark.

In summary, creating a packet capture from Azure Network Watcher appears to be a valid solution to inspect all the network traffic from VM1 to VM2 for a period of three hours.
