The ThousandEyes platform contains a reporting engine that provides both on-demand reports and scheduling of automatically generated reports. Data from tests can be organized into highly customized layouts, presented numerically or in tables or graphs, and sent via email to users.
Widgets
A report consists of one or more report widgets. ThousandEyes currently provides the following types:
Numbers
Tables
Multi-metric tables
Pie chart
Stacked bar/column chart
Grouped bar/column chart
Time series
Stacked bar chart
Map
Color grid
Box-and-whiskers
You create a report by selecting the widgets appropriate for the data you wish to include, and then configuring the parameters of the widgets. Widget parameters allow for operations on the raw test data such as statistical calculations (for example, means, medians, or percentiles), data trends, and tabular views of the data. Widget configuration also permits arrangement of the numbers, tables and time series graphs on the page. Once configured, reports permit the user to select a time frame of interest, and the report page will then be populated with that period's test data according to the report configuration.
With each report you can take report snapshots. Report snapshots are analogous to test view snapshots. The snapshot represents a specific time range of the report’s data. Report snapshot creation can be scheduled at regular intervals. Additionally, the report snapshot can be automatically emailed to a list of recipients.
Report data can also be shared through embedded widgets, which allow a report's widgets to be included in customer web pages such as kiosk displays or network operations center dashboards. For more information on embedded report widgets, see Embedding Report Widgets in External Web Sites.
Configuring Reports
The Reports page (Reports > Reports) allows you to create, modify and delete reports, and create and schedule snapshots of existing reports. The figure below and the following list describe the report configuration tool on the Reports page. Below the list is the Creating a New Report section with steps for creating a report.
1.Recent Snapshot Selector: This drop-down menu provides a list of most recent snapshots for each report in account group.
2.Report selector: This drop-down menu provides a list of existing reports, along with a Search field to search the list. Select a report to view by clicking the report name. A watch icon (
) next to the name of a report indicates that report has scheduled snapshots. A shared by icon (
) next to the name of report indicates that report has been shared with other account groups in the same organization. A shared with icon (
) next to name of report signifies the report belongs to a different account group in same organization. An option to perform Bulk Actions enables creating multiple report snapshots or deleting multiple reports at once.
3.Report Time Range selector: Quickly select relative time ranges (for example, Last 7 days), fixed time ranges (for example, This Month) or configure a custom time range. Time ranges are displayed using the time zone configured within the user's profile. By default, data for the last 1 day is displayed. Widgets with a configured Fixed Time Span option are unaffected by the time range selector.
4.Snapshots menu provides the following options:
Save a Snapshot: The currently selected report will be saved as a snapshot, using the time range configured in the Time Range selector.
Schedule a Snapshots: The currently selected report can be saved as a snapshot on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
5.Add Widget: Opens the Add Widget side panel. New widgets can be added to the report.
6.Options button provides the following options:
Create New Report: Creates a new blank report to be named and populated with widgets
Duplicate Report: Creates a copy of the currently viewed report, to be renamed and modified
View Report Details: Allows a user to edit the currently viewed Report Name, Account Group Visibility and metadata. The Related Snapshots History section shows list of most recent snapshots as seen in the screenshot below.

5.Set as my default: Check this box to make this report the default report displayed for the current user.
6.Set as default for account group: Check this box to make this report the default report displayed for the current account group. The user's default takes priority over the account group's default. You cannot set a report that is shared from another account group as your default.
7.Click Create Report to open up widget manager.
​
​
Reports are created in the widget manager, which can also be used to modify a report. Invoke the widget manager by clicking the Add Widgets button from the Reports page. The figure below and the following list describe the features of the widget manager.
1.Widget Picker: Select a widget to add to your report by either clicking on the type of widget desired or by dragging it to the location within the report layout where you wish the data to appear.
2.Widget Configuration: Once you select a widget, a widget configuration panel will open. You can minimize this panel and move it as needed.
3.Add Another Widget: Click this button to add another widget from the widget picker side panel.
4.Cancel Changes: After you make updates to your widget configuration, you can preview those changes before saving them. If you don't like the changes you have made, click the Cancel button and the changes will revert.
5.Save Changes: Confirm the changes you have made to your widget configuration.
6.Widget Configuration: Click the gear icon to bring back up the widget configuration side panel.
7.More Actions: Click the More Actions icon to delete, duplicate, embed or rename the widget (available inside or outside the widget manager) or download a PNG or JPG image of the widget.
8.Widget handle: Click the widget handle to change the size of the widget to either half or full page width (available only in the widget manager).
To add widgets to the report, click the Add Widget button and open up the widget selector side panel. Widgets can be dragged to different positions within the overall report page whenever the mouse pointer is moved over the header of a widget, or by clicking on the widget icon.
Once the widget is added to the report, select appropriate values for each available option. Changes made in the widget manager are immediately saved, allowing for exit of the widget manager at any time with a single click.
Working with Report Widgets
Consider the following when choosing and configuring report widgets:
Number widgets display a single scalar quantity, such as an average of packets lost or page load times, or a number of alerts.
Table widgets permit a breakdown of numbers by rows and columns. Either rows or columns can list by test, country, continent, or data source (agents or BGP monitors) or the aggregate of those ("All").
Multi-metric table widgets allow for the same configuration as Table widgets, but can have columns with different metrics, rather than a single metric for the entire table.
Stacked bar/column chart widgets provide horizontal histogram bars with multiple values, which are useful for composite metric data (such as HTTP response or fetch time) and for comparing values between multiple tests, or comparing values on a per-country basis. Bars can be oriented horizontally or vertically as columns.
Grouped bar/column chart widgets are similar to stacked bar chart widgets, but represent multiple values as single bars in a group of bars. Bars can be oriented horizontally or vertically as columns.
Pie chart widgets are similar to stacked bar chart widgets, representing multiple values as proportionally sized segments of a pie.
Time series widgets are line plots with time on the horizontal axis, and the selected quantity on the vertical axis.
Time series stacked area widgets are line plots with time on the horizontal axis, and the selected quantities on the vertical axis. They are used similarly to stacked bar charts but showing values over time.
Map widgets display data on a world map, based on location of the testing systems (agents or BGP monitors). Data can be displayed per country, per continent, or per agent (if a non-BGP metric is displayed).
Color grid widgets shows an array of colored cards, where each card's color depends on the configured scale. See Customizing your Dashboard for more information on Color Grid.
Box-and-whiskers widgets plot data values versus time on the horizontal axis, with the vertical axis displaying the median, minimum and maximum data points per time value, along with a bar for the range of values represented by the second and third quartiles.
To add widgets to a report, click +Add Widgets on the Reports page to enter the widget manager. Modifying an individual widget's settings can be done from the Reports page by clicking the gear icon. Details of the settings for each widget type are below, along with examples.
Number Widget
The image below shows an unconfigured number widget.
Number widgets have the following settings:
Data Source: The data source indicates which platform service will be referenced within the widget. Current options include:
Alerts: Data is obtained from platform alerts
Cloud and Enterprise Agents: Data is obtained from scheduled tests performed by Cloud and Enterprise Agents
Devices: Data is obtained from device-layer reporting
Endpoint Agents: Data is obtained from scheduled tests and monitored domain metrics
Routing: Data is obtained from BGP tests
Metric: Each type of ThousandEyes test has its own metrics. For example, agent-to-server tests have five metrics: Available Bandwidth, Capacity, Jitter, Latency and Packet Loss. In addition to each of the ThousandEyes test types, Alerts is also a category of choices for metrics. For more information on ThousandEyes metrics, see ThousandEyes Metrics: What Do Your Results Mean?​
Measure: A statistical measurement. Measure choices available depend on the Metric setting, but will come from the following list:
% positive: The percentage of measurements greater than zero. For example, the percentage of time when a Network alert was active.
_% zero: **_The percentage of measurements equal to zero. For example, the percentage of time when a Network alert was active.
Maximum: The maximum value in the set of measurements, such as the latency times of a Network test over the time period of the report.
Minimum: The minimum value in the set of measurements, such as the latency times of a Network test over the time period of the report.
Standard Deviation: The population standard deviation of a set of measurements, such as the latency times of a Network test over the time period of the report.
nth Percentile: The value of the metric that contains n% of the measurements. When "nth Percentile" is selected, a text box will appear, allowing you to specify an integer for the percentile value from 1 to 99. 98% is the default. For example, a 98th Percentile whose value is 500 ms for a Metric of "Response Time" would indicate that 98% of the measurements of the response time were from 0 to 500 ms.
Mean: The value of the arithmetic mean (i.e. average) of the measurements. For example, a Mean of 50 ms for a Metric of "Latency" for one or more Network tests would indicate that the average value of the latency in the reporting period was 50 ms.
Median: The value of the median measurement. For example, a Median of 50 ms for a Metric of "Latency" for one or more Network tests would indicate that the value of 50 ms is the middle value in the range of all values of the latency in the reporting period.
Total: The total number of measurements. For example, a Metric set to "Alerts" and Tests set to a HTTP server test indicate the total number of HTTP server alerts received in the reporting period.
Active Time: The amount of time an alert rule was active. (Alerts metrics only)
Inactive time: The amount of time an alert rule was inactive. (Alerts metrics only)
Show Comparison to Previous Timespan: When checked, the report displays the difference between the current data set and the previous data set of the same length as the reporting interval. The comparison numbers are shown as an additional row of cells below the principle row, in red or green font color along with an up-arrow or down-arrow indicating a numerical increase or decrease. The combination of color and arrow direction changes based on the metric setting. For some settings of metric, a numeric increase is a change for the better and thus is rendered in green. For other metrics a numeric increase is a change for the worse and rendered in red. For some metrics, the situation may be ambiguous; those metrics are rendered in grey font.
"N/A" is displayed in place of the comparison numbers when sufficient data from the previous reporting interval is not currently available for a comparison (such as when a test is first configured but hasn't accumulated a full timespan of data). A "-" (single dash) is displayed in place of the comparison numbers when no data is present and will not ever be present, such as when a agent is not assigned to the test.
By default, the timespan of the past data set is the timespan prior to the current data set's time span, which is specified by the From and To fields of the report's date and time selector. If the Fixed Time Span box is checked, then the timespans of the data sets are specified by the Fixed Time Span setting's date selector.
Fixed Time Span: When checked, a date selector will appear, allowing selection of a range of days different than the one specified for the entire report. The widget will display data in that range.
Card Description: For number widgets, each number is contained on a card, which can be given its own description which will appear in the number box when viewing the report. Configuration of this setting is optional.
Tests: Names of tests that will provide the data to the report. Select one or more tests that is appropriate to your Metric setting (e.g. if the Metric is Packet Loss, select one or more Network tests or tests with included Network metric; if the Metric is Response Time, select an HTTP Server or Page Load test).
Sources: Filter sources from which the data will be taken. The column heading changes based on which Metric is set, and will be one of the following:
Alert Rules: If the Metric is a Network, Web, DNS or Voice test or alert metric, a list of alert rules.
Agents: If the Metric is a Network, Web, DNS or Voice test or alert metric, a list of Cloud and Enterprise Agents.
Agent Labels: If the Metric is a Network, Web, DNS or Voice test or alert metric, a list of Cloud and Enterprise Agent labels (Built-in or Custom).
Tests: For any Metric, a list of tests.
Test Labels: For any Metric, a list of test labels (Built-in or Custom).
Monitors: If the Metric is a BGP test or alert, a list of ThousandEyes BGP monitors.

Show Comparison to Previous Timespan: When checked, the report displays the difference between the current data set and a past data set, shown as an additional row of cells below the principle row, with the comparison numbers in red or green along with an up-arrow or down-arrow indicating a numerical increase or decrease. The combination of color and arrow direction changes based on the metric setting. For some settings of metric, a numeric increase is a change for the better and thus is rendered in green. For other metrics a numeric increase is a change for the worse and rendered in red. For some metrics, the situation may be ambiguous; those metrics are rendered in grey font without accompanying arrows.
"N/A" is displayed in place of the comparison numbers when sufficient data is not currently available for a comparison (such as when a test is first configured but hasn't accumulated a full timespan of data). A "-" (single dash) is displayed in place of the comparison numbers when no data is present and will not ever be present, such as when a test error prevented a round of data collection.
By default, the timespan of the past data set is the timespan prior to the current data set's time span, which is specified by the From and To fields of the report's date and time selector. If the Fixed Time Span box is checked, then the timespans of the data sets are specified by the Fixed Time Span setting's date selector.
Fixed Time Span: When checked, a date selector will appear, allowing selection of a range of days different than the one specified for the entire report. The widget will display data in that range.
Limit To: When checked, the table rows will display at most the number you set in the selector. When more rows exist than are displayed, the Sort By order determines which rows are displayed.

Columns Tab
The multi-metric table widget's Columns tabs have the following settings:
Metric: Each type of ThousandEyes test has its own metrics. For example, agent-to-server tests have five metrics: Available Bandwidth, Capacity, Jitter, Latency and Packet Loss. In addition to each of the ThousandEyes test types, alerts also have metrics. For more information on ThousandEyes metrics, see ThousandEyes Metrics: What Do Your Results Mean? Depending on your choice of Metric, the names of the widget settings may change, or additional settings may appear. For example, selecting any of the alerts metrics will result in the Alert Rules setting appearing in the widget.
Measure: A statistical measurement. Measure types available depend on the Metric setting, and will be one or more of the following:
% positive: The percentage of measurements greater than zero. For example, the percentage of time when a Network alert was active.
_% zero: **_The percentage of measurements equal to zero. For example, the percentage of time when a Network alert was active.
Maximum: The maximum value in the set of measurements, such as the latency times of a Network test over the time period of the report.
Minimum: The minimum value in the set of measurements, such as the latency times of a Network test over the time period of the report.
nth Percentile: The value of the metric that contains n% of the measurements. When "nth Percentile" is selected, a text box will appear, allowing you to specify an integer for the percentile value from 1 to 99. 98% is the default. For example, a 98th Percentile whose value is 500 ms for a Metric of "Response Time" would indicate that 98% of the measurements of the response time were between 0 and 500 ms.
Mean: The value of the arithmetic mean (i.e. average) of the measurements. For example, a Mean of 50 ms for a Metric of "Latency" for one or more Network tests would indicate that the average value of the latency in the reporting period was 50 ms.
Median: The value of the median measurement. For example, a Median of 50 ms for a Metric of "Latency" for one or more Network tests would indicate that the value of 50 ms is the middle value in the range of all values of the latency in the reporting period.
Total: The total number of measurements. For example, a Metric set to "Alerts" and Tests set to a HTTP Server test indicate the total number of HTTP Server alerts received in the reporting period.
Active Time: The amount of time an alert rule was active. (Alerts metrics only)
Inactive time: The amount of time an alert rule was inactive. (Alerts metrics only)
To add a column, click on the Add New Column link. To delete a column, click the tab of the column you wish to delete, then click the X in the column's header.
Example Multi-Metric Table Widget
Below is an example of a configured multi-metric table widget entitled “HTTP Server statistics” and the resulting output.
The Rows setting is set to "Tests", indicating that the table's rows will be individual test names, and the Sources is set to filter on "Tests", where 3 tests of 241 are selected, creating a two-row table with the first column containing those two selected tests. Column 1 has "Availability" selected as the Metric and "Mean" as the Measure. Each test row will display the mean of availability in the first column. Column 2 has "Response Time" selected as the Metric and "Maximum" as the Measure. Each test row will display the largest of all response time values in the round, in the second column.
Sort by is set to "Default (Tests)", meaning that the sorting order of the rows will be the default (the first column that's set by the Rows). The dark switch with the white up-arrow indicates that the value of the Sort by field will be sorted from low to high, alphabetically in this case. The Show Comparison box is checked, producing the second, lower set of numbers along with up or down arrows to indicate whether the value rose or dropped, and a color code to indicate whether that rise or drop is an improving change from the previous period (green), a degrading change (red) or is ambiguous (gray). Fixed Time Span is unchecked, indicating that the report uses the time frame that is set at the top of the Reports page. Limit To is set to 2 rows, thereby preventing one of the three tests from being displayed.

When "nth Percentile" is selected, a text box will appear, allowing you to specify an integer for the percentile value from 1 to 99. 98% is the default. For example, a 98th Percentile whose value is 500 ms for a Metric of "Response Time" would indicate that 98% of the measurements of the response time were between 0 and 500 ms.
Mean: The value of the arithmetic mean (i.e. average) of the measurements. For example, a Mean of 50 ms for a Metric of "Latency" for one or more Network tests would indicate that the average value of the latency in the reporting period was 50 ms.
Median: The value of the median measurement. For example, a Median of 50 ms for a Metric of "Latency" for one or more Network tests would indicate that the value of 50 ms is the middle value in the range of all values of the latency in the reporting period.

Active Time: The amount of time an alert rule was active. (Alerts metrics only)
Inactive time: The amount of time an alert rule was inactive. (Alerts metrics only)
One Chart per Line: When checked, the widget will create a chart for each member of the setting specified in the Group By column. For example, if Group By is set to "Agent", then a chart will be created for each agent, rather than one chart graphing all of the lines.
Fixed Time Span: When checked, a date selector will appear, allowing selection of a range of days different than the one specified for the entire report. The widget will display data in that range.
Group By:
Single Line: Data from all sources and tests are aggregated together into a single line.
Test: Data from all sources and tests are aggregated together into a single line.
Agent: Data from all agents are given their own chart lines.

For example, if Group By is "Countries" and Source type is "Tests", then all selected tests will have their data grouped by all countries found from those tests' results. Each country will have its own graph. However, if Group By is "Countries" and Source type is "Countries", then only those countries selected in the Source selector will have their own graph.
Tests: Names of tests that will provide the data to the report. Based on your selection of Metric setting, the Tests menu will display only those tests that are relevant (e.g. if the Metric is Packet Loss, the Test menu displays Network tests and other tests that use an included Network test; if the metric is Availability, the Test menu displays a Web test, etc.).
Sources: Filter sources from which the data will be taken. The selections change based on which Metric is set, and will be one of the following:
Alert Rules: If the Metric is a Network, Web, DNS or Voice test or alert metric, a list of alert rules.
Agents: If the Metric is a Network, Web, DNS or Voice test or alert metric, a list of Cloud and Enterprise Agents.
Agent Labels: If the Metric is a Network, Web, DNS or Voice test or alert metric, a list of Cloud and Enterprise Agent labels (Built-in or Custom).
