ThousandEyes
Cisco ThousandEyes is a SaaS application that provides you an end-to-end view across networks and services that impact your business. It monitors the network traffic paths across internal, external, and carrier networks and the internet in real time to provide network performance data. Cisco ThousandEyes provides intelligent insights into your WAN and the cloud and helps you optimize application delivery and end-user experience.
For each parameter of the feature that has a default value, the scope is set to Default (indicated by a check mark), and the default setting or value is shown. To change the default or to enter a value, click the scope drop-down to the left of the parameter field and choose one of the following:
Parameter Scope |
Scope Description |
---|---|
Device Specific (indicated by a host icon) |
Use a device-specific value for the parameter. For device-specific parameters, you cannot enter a value in the feature template. You enter the value when you attach a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN device to a device template. When you click Device Specific, the Enter Key box opens. This box displays a key, which is a unique string that identifies the parameter in a CSV file that you create. This file is an Excel spreadsheet that contains one column for each key. The header row contains the key names (one key per column), and each row after that corresponds to a device and defines the values of the keys for that device. You upload the CSV file when you attach a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN device to a device template. To change the default key, type a new string and move the cursor out of the Enter Key box. Examples of device-specific parameters are system IP address, host name, GPS location, and site ID. |
Global (indicated by a globe icon) |
Enter a value for the parameter and apply that value to all devices. Examples of parameters that you might apply globally to a group of devices are DNS server, syslog server, and interface MTUs. |
