Cisco ThousandEyes App for Splunk

[HA-01]

I can't collect data which is test type is set to “Dynamic” on Thousandeyes.

We are currently unable to retrieve data for "Dynamic" test types via the Test Stream data input configuration in the Cisco ThousandEyes App for Splunk.

In the Ingest settings of the Cisco ThousandEyes App for Splunk, under the "Tests Stream" configuration, test types set as “HTTP Server” appear correctly under Endpoint Tests and data is successfully ingested into Splunk.
However, test types set as “Dynamic” do not appear at all and cannot be ingested into Splunk.

Since data configured as "HTTP Server" is being successfully ingested, we do not believe this is a communication issue between ThousandEyes and Splunk.

Could you please advise how we can ingest Tests Streams that are configured as “Dynamic”?

Looks like app doesn't support fetching Dynamic test data.Ref #https://docs.appdynamics.com/appd/24.x/latest/en/end-user-monitoring/thousandeyes-integration-with-b...

You can consider using ThousandEyes API calls to pull Dynamic data.

Hi @HA-01 

Is there anything in $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log relating to the app when retrieving the Dynamic which might give us any clues?

Thank you for your reply.
I checked the internal log, but there were no errors related to ThousandEyes Dynamic tests.
Therefore, I checked whether the App is configured to retrieve Dynamic test data in the first place.
Upon reviewing the thousandeyes_constant.py file, I found that ENDPOINT_TEST_TYPES = ["agent-to-server", "http-server"] does not include “Dynamic.”
This indicates that the current specification does not support retrieving Dynamic test data.
