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 Requirements 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, Explained for more information about roles).
