Active Assurance Workflow

Active Assurance enables you to set up and run on-demand tests using Test Agents. Test Agents are measurement points, which are deployed in your network. These Test Agents are capable of generating, receiving, and analyzing network traffic and therefore enable you to continuously view and monitor both real-time and aggregated result metrics

The following is the workflow for monitoring your network using Active Assurance:

  1. Install Paragon Automation. For information on installing Paragon Automation, see Paragon Automation Installation Guide.

  2. Login in to the Paragon Automation GUI. See Administration Workflow.

  3. Onboard devices. For information on onboarding the devices, see Device Onboarding Workflow.

  4. Ensure that you install Test Agent on your devices so that you can manage these Test Agents using Paragon Automation. For information on Test Agents, see Test Agents Overview and Install Test Agent Application.

  5. Create Tests and Monitors using Measurement Designer. See Create a Test and Create a Monitor.

  6. To continuously monitor the key performance indicators (KPIs), run Tests and Monitors that you have created based on your requirement.

  7. View the results of streams and alerts generated.

    See View Stream Details.

  8. Analyze the metrics, identify the root cause of an issue (if any), and take necessary actions.
