Eyes on the Prize: Faster Root Cause w/ ThousandEyes and Meraki MX *LAB DAY*

"This month's MN Bytes and Brews LAB DAY is brought to you by Internet and SaaS Outages across the country!"

Modern applications cross more networks, more autonomous systems, and more cloud boundaries than ever — and when something breaks, it’s rarely obvious where the problem actually is.

That’s why this LAB DAY is focused on ThousandEyes and how the built‑in MX integration gives you real insight into:

• Cloud app reachability
• DNS & network path health
• Performance across owned and un‑owned networks
• What’s your problem vs. what’s not your problem

Agenda

1. The landscape of modern troubleshooting
   An intro to why on‑prem + cloud + carrier networks create blind spots.
2. ThousandEyes, explained simply
   --How agents work, what test types exist, and how ThousandEyes fills visibility gaps.
3. Meraki MX + ThousandEyes: Live Demo
   --We’ll configure the agent directly from the Meraki Dashboard and watch it register.
4. Verifying test results in ThousandEyes
   --How to interpret what the agent sees, and where to find root‑cause signals.
5. Build-your-own synthetic test!

Participants are invited to log into their Meraki Dashboard and create their own Active Application Monitoring to see live output.

This session includes hands‑on, follow‑along configuration, so bring your laptop, access to your Meraki Dashboard, and access to your ThousandEyes account.
