Cisco SD-WAN Manager supports a preintegrated solution that allows deploying ThousandEyes enterprise agent as a container on Cisco NFVIS devices. Experience ThousandEyes network monitoring and testing capabilities directly on your Cisco SD-Branch network infrastructure. The feature provides visibility into the performance of the underlying network infrastructure.

• Gain complete visibility into your network performance, including network infrastructure, cloud providers, WAN links, and internal data center networks within Cisco NFVIS.

• Reduce Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) for network issues, improve network reliability, and optimize application performance.

• Ensure that the minimum software version for Cisco NFVIS devices is Cisco NFVIS Release 4.15.1 and your Cisco SD-WAN Manager is running Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.15.1.

• You require a minimum of two CPU cores, memory of 2048 MB, and a disk size of 8192 MB to enable a ThousandEyes container.

• Only a .tar container image file with VNF type selected as OTHER is supported.

• Only the 0.16.21-1709162383-agent version is supported.

• Add TEAGENT_ACCOUNT_TOKEN and TEAGENT_INET to the bootstrap configuration file to deploy the ThousandEyes container.

• Monitoring charts aren't supported for Cisco ThousandEyes container.

1. From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Workflows > Workflow Library > Create NFV Configuration Group.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the workflow.

3. In the Add VNF Services step, choose the Custom VNF services topology.

4. In the Primary Image drop-down box, choose the virtual image that you added earlier.

5. Configure the Mount point inside VNF using the bootstrap configs.

   Here's a sample bootstrap configuration:

   {
   "env_variables" : {
   "TEAGENT_ACCOUNT_TOKEN" : "${TEAGENT_ACCOUNT_TOKEN}",
   "TEAGENT_INET" : "${TEAGENT_INET}",
   }
   }

   Note	The name of the mount point is bootstrap_config

6. (Optional) The ThousandEyes container requires volumes to mount for the agent logs. These volumes are created automatically within the device with the required minimum size of 320MB, if the volume configurations are not present in the config group.

   Here are some sample volumes and sizes:

   Volume 1: mount path: /var/lib/te-agent, size: 120

   Volume 2: mount path: /var/log/agent, size: 320

7. Click Next.

8. Associate this configuration group with the device and deploy. For more information, see Manage Cisco NFVIS Devices Using NFV Config Group Workflow.

   You've successfully deployed Cisco ThousandEyes as a container on Cisco NFVIS devices using Cisco SD-WAN Manager. The Enterprise Agents section within the ThousandEyes Dashboard displays the status of the enterprise agents deployed on Cisco NFVIS devices. For more information see, ThousandEyes Documentation.

1. From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Monitor > Devices.

2. From the list of devices, select the Cisco NFVIS device to monitor the system status, device health and interface packet statistics. View the CPU utilization for the guest VNF as well.

3. You can start, stop, or restart ThousandEyes container.

   Note	Monitoring charts for ThousandEyes container isn't supported.
