Enable ThousandEyes Agent on Cisco collaboration devices to get hop-by-hop network path visibility when these devices are part of meetings.
Collaboration devices use the Control Hub integration that is also used for Webex apps. ThousandEyes Agent is already part of the RoomOS software, but you need to enable it on selected or all devices in Control Hub.
The integration for collaboration devices supports:
-
Webex Meetings
-
1-to-1 calls with Webex Calling
-
WebRTC interop meetings
-
On-premises calls on Unified CM
Prerequisites
-
Activate ThousandEyes Control Hub integration.
-
Get ThousandEyes Endpoint Agent licenses (either essential or advantage) You need one endpoint license per device.
-
Get the Connection String for the account group that you want the agent on the device to register with. Note that this Account Group must match the one for the Control Hub integration.
Limitations
-
ThousandEyes Agent integration is not supported in IPv6 only network environments.
