Create a ThousandEyes Page Load Test

For ThousandEyes to be able to stream data to Splunk, the data first needs to be collected by ThousandEyes. To achieve this, we need to create a ThousandEyes test. Refer to ThousandEyes documentation for test creation.

We are going to create a Page Load test that validates the availability of www.google.com.

Skip Test Creation if Already Created

In case you already have a Page Load test created, you can skip this step and use the existing test ID.

Use the ThousandEyes API through Bruno to create the test programmatically.

  • Open the Create ThousandEyes Page Load Test request in your Bruno collection
  • Click Send to execute the API request
