About the Measurement Explorer Page

To access this page, click Observability > Active Assurance > Measurement Explorer.

Measurements are the fundamental unit of configuration that defines how network traffic is generated and evaluated. It specifies the behavior of a Test Agent by defining which plug-in to run, what parameters to use, and what traffic to generate. For more information, see Measurements Overview.

The Measurement Explorer provides a centralized view of all measurements in your organization. A Measurement represents the process of evaluating a network path between a Test Agent interface and an endpoint. The type of endpoint depends on the Plug-in that you select to run measurements. You can configure a measurement to define parameters and evaluation criteria used to collect performance data.
