# Multi-Service Views Multi-service views allow ThousandEyes users to build a more comprehensive view of their environment by combining multiple test views into one multi-service view. 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. ![](https://1112912342-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M4QARF6s57qxMrOHDTZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a75e75063a3bf3b6d1068522385de81fb62640d6%2Fproduct-documentation_enterprise-agents_multi-service-views-1.png?alt=media\&token=825eed7d-e492-44f6-9319-47ba083cf6ee) 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). ![](https://1112912342-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M4QARF6s57qxMrOHDTZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a7b768cf99191f4263530b89d19782ed96f783b3%2Fproduct-documentation_enterprise-agents_multi-service-views-2.png?alt=media\&token=ac0fe968-2956-4b66-b565-e15d0aa601e1) * 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). ![](https://1112912342-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M4QARF6s57qxMrOHDTZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-36fb473dab9f5bf735e6b75cf1f2bc0552250cdb%2Fproduct-documentation_enterprise-agents_multi-service-views-7.png?alt=media\&token=1443f4d4-6d44-4ffc-98bc-ac4ba890f011) * Open the **Server** drop-down menu and select the specific test you want to look at. ## Review Multi-Service View Test Data ### Timeline ![](https://1112912342-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M4QARF6s57qxMrOHDTZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-df63987f2114d94c4459768a838c84274e5f40f8%2Fproduct-documentation_enterprise-agents_multi-service-views-8.png?alt=media\&token=b33d1cdb-2a7b-4fbc-a905-d7df6ee41dc0) 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: ![](https://1112912342-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M4QARF6s57qxMrOHDTZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-631fa0fb12447f876e959d2592f0cef8d93b6a11%2Fproduct-documentation_enterprise-agents_multi-service-views-9.png?alt=media\&token=59781275-62df-4a2d-a3de-8d40d10428b1) ### 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: ![](https://1112912342-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M4QARF6s57qxMrOHDTZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8b70ad3a0a0a6e52f4f16e4893aa8814e510601e%2Fproduct-documentation_enterprise-agents_multi-service-views-4.png?alt=media\&token=97201b3b-9960-4a2c-9258-c1ad9a9f6981) ### 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: ![](https://1112912342-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M4QARF6s57qxMrOHDTZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a29612c5e466c79a3e04bd066a97a832eac2d6f5%2Fproduct-documentation_enterprise-agents_multi-service-views-6-2.png?alt=media\&token=d6b45768-aead-4515-8c44-a7e33ea45ef8) ## 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
