Tags API

The ThousandEyes Tags API provides a tagging system with key/value pairs. It allows you to tag assets within the ThousandEyes platform (such as agents, tests, or alert rules) with meaningful metadata. For example: branch:sfo, branch:nyc, and team:netops.

This feature provides:

  • Support for automation.
  • Powerful and flexible reports/dashboards.
  • Support for third-party integrations.

Things to note with the ThousandEyes Tags API:

  • Tags are backwards-compatible with existing labels.
  • Tags are separated by Tests (CEA), Agents (CEA), Endpoint Agents, Scheduled Endpoint Tests, and Reports. A single tag can only apply to one type of target object, so each tag must specify the target type of object via a type field.
  • Tags are defined in a single table so that they can be represented using a single model - Tag.
