Container-Based WAN Monitoring
Container-based WAN monitoring might just sounds like some IT marketing buzzword BINGO, but Pete Welcher makes the argument that it’s a vital part of a networking toolkit. Rather than traditional monitoring tools that look at metrics that indicate what a user actually excperiences on the network, companies like ThousandEyes and Netbeez user container-based monitoring to actually probe the network from the client side without needing additional hardware, able to run in contianers on a Catalyst 9000 switch, for example.
Looking at the Internet with ThousandEyes
Rich Stroffolino wrote up an overview of ThousandEyes, based on their presentation at Networking Field Day earlier this year. The company provides an innovative approach for monitoring SaaS app performance. Instead of limiting monitoring to traffic within an organization, they provide a framework to monitor the Internet itself as a network.
Strategy Series: How do you view outside of your network?
In this piece, Nick Buraglio looks at the struggles many network administrators have in getting visibility outside of the network they directly control. This is vital for being able to answer the dreaded “the internet is slow” question, and understand the user experience. He shares a recent presentation from ThousandEyes from Networking Field Day last month, which showed their approach to the visibility challenge.

Brain dump: network visibility
In this post, Brandon Mangold puts his thoughts to paper on the state of network monitoring and visibility. For Brandon, this helps frame the overall point of network management, emphasizing user experience at the end of the day. To this point, monitoring applications need to look at network performance from the perspective of the endpoint and the application. Brandon looks at solutions from ThousandEyes and Cisco’s App Dynamics as examples of this focus.
Its time for Network Field Day 17

ThousandEyes – Mean Time to Innocence in minutes
Justin Cohen saw ThousandEyes present at Networking Field Day in August, but wanted to test out their solution before passing judgement. So after mulling on it for a while, what was his verdict? Essentially, it has to be seen to be believed. ThousandEyes differentiates in network monitoring by combining agents within your network with their SaaS model of sensors from all over the Internet. This allows engineers to not just trace a path forward to an endpoint, but also work backwards. Combined with great visualization, they’re able to pinpoint causes outside of an enterprise network, allowing users to save time chasing their tail. Add in flexible licensing, and Justin thinks it’s a great tool to let you drill down to root network slow down problems!
Learning “better SD-WAN” from a Non SD-WAN vendor!
After attending Networking Field Day in August, Faisal Khan came away impressed by ThousandEyes. He thought their network monitoring solution was more impressive when considered with SD-WAN, even though the company isn’t exactly pitching the solution that way. ThousandEyes can monitor a router to router span, as opposed to most SD-WAN vendors which only do end to end. Faisal runs down some of the use cases where this proves to be a superior solution. A really interesting take on what ThousandEyes is offering!
Container-based ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent…
Tim Miller tried out a Docker container install of a ThousandEyes image. While there were some issues with the actual Docker configuration, Tim was impressed with the service and support by Thousand Eyes, he had a customer service representative install Fedora over the phone just to try to replicate the issue. Tim got the ThousandEyes container up and running and is looking forward to trying it out in a longer trial.
