Enterprise Agent Installation
ThousandEyes Enterprise Agents can be installed in several different ways depending on your existing infrastructure and technical preferences. Before you begin, review the installation prerequisites below and the system requirements and supported operating systems in Enterprise Agents.
Installation Prerequisites
Before you install an Enterprise Agent, verify that you have the following:
Account group token: You need an installation token to register the agent with your ThousandEyes account. You can find this token in the ThousandEyes platform on the Agent Settings page or the Account Settings page.
Minimum Hardware Requirements: The host machine must meet the minimum hardware requirements needed to run the agent. See Common System Requirements.
Network and internet connectivity: The host machine must have a stable network connection with outbound internet access to reach the ThousandEyes platform, execute tests, and report results. The system must be configured with at least one assigned IPv4 or IPv6 address on an active network interface, with appropriate routing and firewall policies to support agent communication and monitoring operations. See Firewall Configuration for Enterprise Agents for a complete list of required rules.
Infrastructure services: The agent requires access to a Domain Name System (DNS) service to resolve hostnames and a Network Time Protocol (NTP) service to maintain accurate system time.
