AWS Cloud Insights Launch

ThousandEyes launched Cloud Insights to help users monitor and troubleshoot cloud-native and hybrid cloud environments.

Innovation Overview

ThousandEyes Cloud Insights empowers users to monitor and troubleshoot cloud-native and hybrid cloud environments.  

Feature Highlights:

  • Quick Trial Signup: Customers can navigate to the Cloud Insights menu and click “Request Trial” to activate their free trial. 

  • Correlating With Cloud Topology: The network test to the AWS-hosted target extends path visualization by displaying the discovered cloud network topology.  

  • Highlighting Configuration Changes: The status changes made on AWS assets are tracked and correlated with performance and availability measurements.

  • Visualizing Cloud Traffic Flow: VPC flow integration enables users to quickly understand the ingress/egress traffic on every AWS region, VPC, and subnet, as well as the cloud services that rely on AWS.

  • Monitoring Direct Connect: A hybrid cloud environment often uses Direct Connect from the on-prem infrastructure cloud provider. Cloud Insights allows monitoring of Direct Connect gateway and the traffic through it.  

Customer Benefits:

  • AWS Inventory Management: Cloud Operations (CloudOps) teams often rely on extensive deployments across regions and accounts. Cloud Insights provides a single source of truth, giving teams an overview of all inventories. 

  • End-to-end Visibility: Applications hosted in the cloud often hide the topology behind the edge node. Connecting the path to AWS and topology in AWS provides complete visibility, which is critical for troubleshooting any issues on cloud-hosted infrastructure.

  • Analyzing Versatile Cloud Traffic: Cloud Insights observes traffic from private networks, on-premise servers, cross-regions, and public traffic. Understanding these traffic patterns can help CloudOps teams optimize resources and maximize the assets hosted in their cloud infrastructure.


Here is a quick demo of how to set up Cloud Insights: 

  1. Sign up for the Cloud Insights trial.

  2. Create an AWS integration with the AWS Inventory Monitoring service.

  3. When troubleshooting, you can leverage all your inventory data and configuration changes to each asset.

  4. Create an AWS integration with the Flow Logs Monitoring service.

  5. Use the Inventory page to see your AWS services across accounts and regions.

  6. Use the Event timeline to track any configuration changes made to any service and view the details.

  7. Use Views to analyze inbound/outbound traffic to AWS resources.

  8. Any network tests targeting AWS resources show the cloud layer now.  

  9. In Path Visualization, open the topology link to see the entire topology behind the AWS edge node.

  10. Use the Events / Traffic table to capture the dynamics correlating to the test outcome.
