Exactly how does a thousand eyes play in SDWAN?

[wmendozaOpenlink]

Hi team, For a small client, we want to place SD WAN with somes ISR 116x routers, however we see a limitation on flash, it is 8GB...

So my question here is,
If we choose this ISR ISR 116x, couldn't i use a thousand eyes? right?
I refer to a table that I have here:

Exactly how does a thousand eyes play here in the advantage license?
I'm just a little confused with the use of thousand eyes here...
Is this feature necessary for cloud onramp for saas work fine?

I am considering moving to ISR 113x

Hi

 "If we choose this ISR ISR 116x, couldn't i use a thousand eyes? right?"

 It can.  See here:

https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/enterprise-agents/installing/cisco-devices#support-matrix

ThousandEyes  have specific rules for licensing.

"Is this feature necessary for cloud onramp for saas work fine?"

  I dont believe so. Think about Thousandeyes as a improved NBAR if not the same.

Hi @Flavio Miranda 

I can ask you how are you? very thanks for comment and support me once again....

How exactly does a thousand eyes work here, on sd wan, and what is the limitation of not using it? do you have any idea?

I can see that documentation say ISR 1100X-6G with 16 flash can use it, but i want to be exactly sure what benefits it has and if this is necessary for Cloud onRamp...

 Doing well thanks, show are you? 

Well, my experience with ThounsandEye is with Enterprise network mostly in switch catalyst 9K. They are used to gathering data about application and make it easier for troubleshooting by showing KPIs like latency, response time, etc. 

 For SDWAN I never deployed but I believe the objective is the same.  For SDWAN there's another solution I used to use and it was based on flow collector. 

This link can give you a good overview

A dont believe Thounsandeye is a requirement for Cloud onRamp but here on this link

https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/wan-insights/introducing/wan-insights-enabling

they mention the benefit of having CoR and Thousandeye.

Hi,

thousand eyes is advanced monitoring and insight tool, it is never be required for Cloud onRamp for SaaS.

See whitepaper and config guide if you'd like to deploy CoR for SaaS
