Configure the ThousandEyes Dashboard

The ThousandEyes query is a metrics query available in the Data panel for dashboards created in Dash Studio. Enable this query to troubleshoot network performance issues related to latency, packet loss, and bandwidth utilization. See ThousandEyes platform.

To filter and create customized metrics to analyze the performance of your network:

1. Click Dashboards and Reports and select the Dash Studio tab.

2. Click to create a new dashboard or you can open an existing dashboard. 

3. Select a widget from the widget panel. 

   

   Only the Time Series, Metric Number, and Gauge widget support the ThousandEyes query.

4. Click the Show me data for dropdown in the Data panel.

6. Click Metric Category and select a category from the dropdown list.
7. Click Metric and select a metric value from the dropdown list.
8. Click Group By to select how to group the selected metric value. You can group the metrics using one of these options:

   • Agents - Agents installed at various locations. 
   • Tests - Network assets to be monitored. See tests.
   • Test Labels - Logical grouping of multiple tests.

    The dropdown list does not display the disabled test.

    • The maximum supported time range is 90 days.
