ThousandEyes Integration with Mobile Real User MonitoringYou can integrate ThousandEyes with Mobile Real User Monitoring. This integration combines mobile application data from AppDynamics and internet network metrics from ThousandEyes to provide full-stack observability.

When you add the ThousandEyes widget to the mobile application dashboard, you can:

  • View ThousandEyes network metrics (packet loss, latency, and jitter) and network health in the context of mobile applications.
  • Analyze the impact of network performance on mobile application performance
    • Analyze how latency, packet loss, and jitter affect end-user response time and application errors
  • Identify whether the network is the cause of mobile application issues:
    • Network issue affecting a specific geographic location
    • Network issue affecting a specific domain
    • Network issue (latency) causing higher end-user response time
    • Network issue (packet loss) causing errors in mobile applications
    • Network issue (jitter) causing inconsistent user experience
  • Narrow down the network issue to a specific domain and a specific location
  • Forward the ThousandEyes test with the network issue to the NetworkOps team for further troubleshooting
  • Troubleshoot the network issue by navigating to the ThousandEyes dashboard

See ThousandEyes Integration with Mobile Real User Monitoring.

To activate the integration, you need an active license of any of the following EUM licenses and an active subscription to ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics: 

  • Real User Monitoring (SaaS) - Peak Edition
  • Mobile Real User Monitoring (SaaS) - Peak Edition 

For the license entitlements, see License Entitlements and Restrictions.

Your data may travel outside your selected region if you use the ThousandEyes integration. For more information, see the Privacy Data Sheets for AppDynamics and ThousandEyes.

23.11.0November 30, 2023
Unified Observability Experience (EAP)

Cisco introduces the all-new Unified Observability Experience, combining Cisco Cloud Observability and AppDynamics SaaS tenants to get to the root cause faster with logs. With the Early Access Program (EAP), you can see in-context logs for your applications and leverage the advanced log troubleshooting capabilities of Cisco Cloud Observability.

Cisco Cloud Observability is Cisco’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) product for observing, securing, and optimizing large, managed Kubernetes deployments on public clouds (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Red Hat OpenShift). For participation, AppDynamics SaaS tenants must be integrated with Cisco Observability Platform tenants. The Cisco Support team will perform this integration during the EAP phase.

For information about Cisco Cloud Observability, see About Cloud Native Application Observability.

This documentation mentions features that are currently in the early access phase. Cisco AppDynamics makes no warranties regarding these features, including performance, quality, or availability, and reserves the right to change the features and its documentation including the content herein at any time before making them generally available as well as never making them generally available. Any buying decisions should be made based on features and products that are currently generally available.

  • A command line utility, Smart Agent CLI, for buildtime workflows to automate install, upgrade and uninstall of supported AppDynamics agents (including Smart Agent).

23.10

Cisco Secure Application 

This release includes support for OpenTelemetry. See Cisco Secure Application for OpenTelemetry

Known Issues:

  • Currently, Business Risk scores are not supported for Cisco Secure Application for OpenTelemetry.

Also, the Business Transaction page shows zero (0) Total Attacks even if there are attacks shown on the Attacks page.
  • For Controller versions <= 23.9.0, the application dashboard for OpenTelemetry monitored applications will not have the security widget available. To resolve that issue, upgrade to Controller >= 23.11.0.

Custom Dashboard

You can exclude data from the Custom Dashboard widgets for the period specified in Action Suppression. The metrics during the application maintenance or outage on your application can be inaccurate. So, you might want to exclude this information on the dashboard.

  • Non-recurring planned maintenance or unplanned outage.
  • Objects of Action Suppression is Application for APM, BRUM, and MRUM applications. See Configure and Manage Action Suppression.
  • Metric category is either Overall application performance and Custom.
  • Single Metric value.
  • In the Analytics page, if the metrics uses ADQL, the query must only use = operator in the Where clause to match the application name or key..

In Custom Dashboards, if you are using time series charts, the suppressed period appears blank and it helps you identify the application downtime. The widgets like pie charts, gauge, and metric value exclude the suppressed data from its calculation. For more information, see Exclude Data from the Custom Dashboard During Maintenance or Outage.

ThousandEyes Integration with Browser Real User Monitoring

You can integrate ThousandEyes with Browser Real User Monitoring. This integration combines application data from AppDynamics and internet network metrics from ThousandEyes to provide full-stack observability.

When you add the ThousandEyes widget in the browser application dashboard, you can:

  • View ThousandEyes network metrics (packet loss, latency, and jitter) and network health in the context of browser applications.
  • Analyze the impact of network performance on application performance
    • Analyze how latency, packet loss, and jitter affect end-user response time and application errors
  • Identify whether the network is the cause of application issues:
    • Network issue affecting a specific geographic location
    • Network issue affecting a specific domain
    • Network issue (latency) causing higher end-user response time
    • Network issue (packet loss) causing errors in applications
    • Network issue (jitter) causing inconsistent user experience
  • Narrow down the network issue to a specific domain and a specific location
  • Forward the ThousandEyes test with the network issue to the NetworkOps team for further troubleshooting
