Traffic Insights Configuration Guide

The articles in this section explain the steps necessary to fully configure Traffic Insights for your organization, from enabling forwarders on your Enterprise Agents to allow-listing your traffic monitors to ensuring your setup meets our minimum flow record requirements.

Configuration Requirements

Minimum and recommended configuration steps

Traffic Insights minimum configuration requirements consist of:

  • Enabling a ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent as a forwarder so it can accept Traffic Insights data.

  • Configuring and allow-listing a network flow traffic monitor to send the correct record formats to ThousandEyes.

You can also:

  • Conduct SNMP discovery of the devices that will send flow data so you can view and filter by device names (recommended).

  • Configure subnet tags inside of ThousandEyes to further enhance your data views and filters (optional).

  • Send data to an external collector (optional).

Before you begin any configuration, see Traffic Insights System Requirementsarrow-up-right for information about the minimum requirements of the components configured in the steps above.

To complete the configuration steps in this documentation, you need access to:

  • Your own enterprise network configuration systems, and/or the network device command-line interface (CLI).

  • The ThousandEyes platform and user interface, with an Organization Admin or Account Admin role (see Role-Based Access, Explainedarrow-up-right for more information about roles).
