Examples

Example-1: ThousandEyes Integration for Network Monitoring in SD-WAN

In an SD-WAN environment, ThousandEyes provides end-to-end visibility into network performance, enabling proactive troubleshooting, SLA monitoring, and security assessments. This use case defines an Edge Feature Template that integrates ThousandEyes agents on SD-WAN edge devices. The template is applied to different router models, ensuring automated deployment of ThousandEyes agents for real-time monitoring. The configuration includes key parameters such as default gateway, DNS settings, proxy settings, and VPN ID, allowing seamless connectivity and monitoring.

By leveraging ThousandEyes templates, network administrators can ensure optimal application performance, detect outages, and monitor internet/cloud connectivity for critical services.
