ENG (Essential Network Gauges)

Gain a better understanding of your network and HTTP endpoints with service level objectives (SLOs) backed by ThousandEyes and Nobl9.

Prerequisites

The Essential Network Gauges is a work-in-progress to provide the quickest and easiest way for users to get started with their networking SLOs. General requirements include both ThousandEyes and Nobl9 accounts.

If you do not have a ThousandEyes account, you can sign up for a free tier trial here.

If you do not have a Nobl9 account, you can sign up for a permanent free tier here.

Setting up Nobl9

sloctl

In order to get the most benefit out of the preconfigured templates and example SLO definitions that ENG provides, you should install the sloctl command line tool. With sloctl you can interact with the Nobl9 API directly to push the suggested example SLO configuration provided.

You can find full instructions for installing sloctl here.

Example Configurations

Within the eng/n9 folder you will find two subdirectories: examples and templates.

The examples directory contains preconfigured example SLOs that can be directly applied to get you started. Please see the examples documentation for more information.

The templates directory contains YAML files you can use to more easily get started while specifying your own names, thresholds, values, and time windows. Please see the templates documentation for more details.
