Minimum supported release: Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.16.1a and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.16.1

The workflow simplifies the process of onboarding Cisco ThousandEyes agents and configuration of tests in Cisco SD-WAN Manager. Using the simplified workflow, you can easily onboard Cisco ThousandEyes agents and configure application monitoring tests directly from Cisco SD-WAN Manager in a few steps. The streamlined workflow involves the following steps:

• Establish a connection to the Cisco ThousandEyes platform through Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

• Configure tests in Cisco ThousandEyes directly from Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

• Choose applications, sites, and devices for testing and configure the necessary parameters in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

• Monitor the agents and tests from the ThousandEyes Monitoring dashboard in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

Minimum supported release: Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.16.1a and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.16.1

• Ensure the following before initiating the simplified workflow:

  • You have a Cisco ThousandEyes account before using the simplified workflow to configure a Cisco ThousandEyes agent in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

    • You must be a user with the Organization Admin role to access the Cisco ThousandEyes account.

  • An appropriate NAT configuration exists to enable the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise agent to discover and connect to the Cisco ThousandEyes application. For more information, see NAT Direct Internet Access

  • Create an IP pool in the global node of Network Hierarchy Manager.

• Complete the following tasks before initiating the simplified workflow.

  Table 2. Tasks Before Running the Simplified Workflow

  Configuration Task	Information
  Deploy Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices using the configuration group.	See Deploy Devices Using the Deploy Configuration Group Workflow
  Upload Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise agent software.	To upload software on the Cisco SD-WAN Manager software repository, see Upload Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent Software to Cisco SD-WAN Manager To add Virtual Images from a remote server, see Add Virtual Images to the Repository

To monitor the status of Cisco ThousandEyes agents and configured tests in the Cisco SD-WAN Manager monitoring dashboard, navigate to Tools > ThousandEyes Monitoring.

You can view the online, offline, and disabled agents, and launch Cisco ThousandEyes from the dashboard.

The monitoring dashboard includes two sections:

• Tests: Provides information about the tests configured using the simplified workflow.

• Agents: Provides information about the status of Cisco ThousandEyes agents configured using the simplified workflow. It also provides a list of configured devices and sites for the test, allowing you to enable, disable, or delete a Cisco ThousandEyes agent.
