Cloud Insights With AWS Limited Preview
Innovation Overview
ThousandEyes Cloud Insights can increase monitoring coverage of your cloud-native infrastructure inventory, topology, and traffic. With monitoring capabilities that augment Cloud and Enterprise Agent Tests, Cloud Insights offers end-to-end visibility for services and applications deployed in cloud-native environments. Cloud Insights With AWS is now available as a limited preview.
Feature Highlights:
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.
Customer Benefits:
AWS Inventory Management: 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 are the quick steps to set up Cloud Insights:
Create an AWS integration with the AWS Inventory Monitoring service.
Create an IAM role with the required policy and provide its ARN in the Integration field. Make sure to test the connection, then save the integration.
When troubleshooting, you can now leverage all your Inventory data, as well as configuration changes made on each asset.
Create an AWS integration with the Flow Logs Monitoring service.
Assign the additional permission to the above IAM role.
Complete the AWS setup, including creating the S3 bucket, forwarding the VPC Flow Log to this S3, and creating the SNS topic to subscribe S3, allowing the S3 to send notifications to the SNS topic.
Provide the SNS topic ARN in the Integration field. Test and save the Integration.
Now you can see the ingress / egress throughput to each AWS asset.
Monitor the discovered AWS assets to see the AWS topology behind your target server and applications.
