General Setup Instructions

Create a Test

1. On the ThousandEyes platform, go to Network & App Synthetics > Test Settings > Tests and click +. If you don’t see this button, check that you have permission to create and edit test configurations.

2. Select Web as the Layer and Page Load as the Test Type.

3. Enter a Test Name and Test Description.

4. Enter the URL of the destination you want to test.

5. Set the test Interval to 1 minute.

6. Select at least one Agent.

7. Click Create New Test to save and begin running the new page load test immediately.

Analyze the Test Results

The Page Load test provides data across multiple layers:

Page Load Metrics

• Page Load Time

• Errors & Timeouts

• Completion Status

HTTP Server Metrics

• Availability

• Throughput

• Response Time

Network Agent to Server Metrics

• Loss

• Latency

• Jitter

Now it's the time to send all the metrics above to your observability backend.
