Step 2 Download the Cisco ThousandEyes application package from the software downloads page and ensure that you use the agent version 4.2.2. Step 3 Copy the image on the device. Step 4 Install and launch the image. Step 5 Connect the agent to the controller. Note When you order platforms that support Cisco ThousandEyes application with Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1 software, the Cisco ThousandEyes application package is available in the bootflash of the device. Workflow to Host the Cisco ThousandEyes Application To install and launch the application, perform these steps: Before you begin Create a new account on the Cisco ThousandEyes portal and generate the token. The Cisco ThousandEyes agent application uses this token to authenticate and check into the correct Cisco ThousandEyes account. you see a message stating that your token is invalid and you want to troubleshoot the issue, see Troubleshooting the Cisco ThousandEyes Application. Note If you configure the correct token and Domain Name Server (DNS) information, the device is discovered automatically. Procedure Step 1 Enable Cisco IOX application environment on the device. Use the following commands for non-SD-WAN (autonomous mode) images: config terminal ioxendwrite Use the following commands for SD-WAN (controller mode) images: config-transactionioxcommit Step 2 If the IOx command is accepted, wait for a few seconds and check whether the IOx process is up and running by using the show

Cisco Thousand Eyes Enterprise Agent Application Hosting This chapter provides information on Cisco Thousand Eyes Enterprise Agent Application Hosting. The following sections are included in this chapter: Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent Application Hosting Cisco ThousandEyes is a network intelligence platform that allows you to use its agents to run a variety of tests from its agents to monitor the network and application performance. This application enables you to view end-to-end paths across networks and services that impact your business. Cisco ThousandEyes application actively monitors the network traffic paths across internal, external, and internet networks in real time, and helps to analyse the network performance. Also, isco ThousandEyes application provides application availability insights that are enriched with routing and device data for a multidimensional view of digital experience. From Cisco IOS XE Release 17.8.1, you can use application-hosting capabilities to deploy the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent as a container application on Cisco 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. This agent application runs as a docker image using Cisco IOx docker-type option. For more information on how to configure Cisco ThousandEyes in controller mode, see Cisco SD-WAN Systems and Interfaces Configuration Guide. Figure 1.

Also, the hostname is optional. If you do not provide the hostname during the installation, the device hostname is used as the Cisco ThousandEyes agent hostname. The device hostname is displayed on the Cisco ThousandEyes portal. The DNS name server information is optional. If the Cisco ThousandEyes agent uses a private IP address, ensure that you establish a connection to the device through NAT. Step 6 Configure the start command to run the application
