These views allow users to look at a service from multiple angles, or multiple services from the same angle, in order to simplify/streamline the root cause analysis process and assist in identifying issues quickly. {% embed url="" %} ## Supported Tests Multi-service views are available for the following test types: * HTTP server * Page load * Transaction (Browser) * Network (End-to-End) * DNS server * DNS trace * DNSSEC * FTP * SIP {% hint style="info" %} Agent to agent and RTP stream tests are not supported. {% endhint %} This section explains how to implement a multi-service view, how it changes what your test data means, and the limitations of the current implementation. ## Configure a Multi-Service View ### Create a Multi-Service View To create a multi-service view: 1. Navigate to the **Network & App Synthetics > Views** page. 2. Open the **Current Test** drop-down menu. Tests that support multi-service views show a **Plus** icon when the mouse cursor is hovered over them. ![](/files/-MS0WZiQcElvqsc-9RNr) To add tests to the views: * Click the **Plus** icon beside each desired individual test. * Click the **Group By > Labels** button, and click the **Plus** icon beside a label name to add all tests in that label. For information on creating tags, see [Work with key-value tags](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/tags/working-with-tags). ![](/files/-MS0WZiZc1_MJnwX81EI) * Use test and label filters to identify the desired tests, and click the **Add to Selected Tests** link at the bottom of the list of tests to add all filtered tests. {% hint style="info" %} Tests that do not support multi-service views show a restricted icon instead of the plus icon. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} Multi-service views currently support a maximum of 10 tests. If more than 10 tests are selected via a label or a filter, the first 10 alphabetically will be added to the view. Users should ensure that the correct tests have been added/excluded before continuing. {% endhint %} ### Save a Multi-Service View Currently, there is no way to “save” a multi-service view. However, to quickly recreate one at any time, create a specific label for the tests that can later be added to the view. For information on creating tags, see [Work with key-value tags](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/tags/working-with-tags). ### Exit a Multi-Service View There are several ways to exit a multi-service view: * Open the **Current Test** drop-down menu and select a specific test. * Click the **Remove** icon beside the tests you want to remove (this icon replaces the **Plus** icon for tests that are in a multi-service view). ![](/files/-MS0WZis4DFjugkw4HN3) * Open the **Server** drop-down menu and select the specific test you want to look at. ## Review Multi-Service View Test Data ### Timeline ![](/files/-MS0WZiyYbAzyoTZcEmN) Unlike in a normal **Timeline** view, where only a single test's data is displayed, the multi-service view often includes several tests with relevant data points, which may run at different intervals. For this reason, the multi-service view timeline uses the largest interval for the included tests, and aggregates data using a weighted average of all data points collected within the round. Consider a multi-service view that has two tests. Test A has a five minute interval, and test B has a two minute interval. The multi-service view will show five minute rounds. The data points aggregated within a round will then be determined by the exact time the data is collected. For example, let's say the round runs from 10:00pm to 10:05pm. One data point will be collected within that time for test A. For test B, there are potentially as many as three data points that could be collected: 10:00pm-10:02pm, 10:02pm-10:04pm, and 10:04pm-10:06pm. If the data is collected between 10:04pm and 10:05pm, there will be three data points, whereas if the data is collected between 10:05pm and 10:06pm, there will be two in this round. These data points are all shown individually in the **Table** view. However, in the **Timeline** view, a single data point determined by the weighted average (the total value of all data points in the round divided by the number of data points) will be shown instead. {% hint style="info" %} This averaging only applies to the **Timeline** view. {% endhint %} To navigate to, or focus on, a single test within the multi-service view, open the **Server** drop-down menu and select the desired test. Server selection updates the timeline and table components of each layer within the views: ![](/files/-MS0WZj2jW5VdioHBums) ### Path Visualization The **Path Visualization** view combines the path visualizations of all tests included in the multi-service view. For more information on the **Path Visualization** view, see [Using the Path Visualization View](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/internet-and-wan-monitoring/path-visualization/using-the-path-visualization-view). The **Path Visualization** view can be filtered by opening the **Servers** drop-down, and de-selecting specific servers: ![](/files/-MS0WZj7n7JWsXJ4KV7X) ### Table View The **Table** view shows all datapoints for the selected round, rather than averaging them as the **Timeline** view does. An additional column is added to the table for multi-service views, to show which test the datapoint is related to: ![](/files/-MS0WZjBeDQ6n65rh-90) ## Multi-Service Snapshots Snapshots are supported for multi-service views. For more information on snapshots, see [Snapshots](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/internet-and-wan-monitoring/tests/sharing-test-data#snapshots). ## Limitations The multi-service view feature currently has the following limitations: * Multi-service views support a maximum of 10 tests. If a label contains more than 10 tests, the top 10 alphabetically will be added to the view. * Agent to agent and RTP stream tests are not supported. * Instant tests are currently not supported for multi-service views. However, instant tests can be run/created for each individual test that is part of the multi-service view as normal.
