A system and method is provided for deploying a network monitoring agent to monitor a network. The method includes receiving a deployment request to deploy a monitoring agent, the monitoring agent including first executable instructions to monitor the network, the request specifying a region external from the network in which to deploy the monitoring agent. The method further includes installing the monitoring agent for execution within a controlled runtime environment on a host machine, the host machine operating in the specified region and having a single operating system. The monitoring agent is executed within the controlled runtime environment to monitor the network from an external perspective of the network. In the controlled runtime environment, during execution of the monitoring agent, all areas of the operating system that are writable by the monitoring agent are isolated from areas of the operating system that are writable by any other software application using the operating system.

Automated deployment of cloud-hosted, distributed network monitoring agents

A system for testing a Voice over IP (VoIP) network is provided. The system includes a monitoring probe connected to the VoIP network. The monitoring probe is configured to answer an incoming call and monitor the VoIP network, in response to receiving the incoming call. The monitoring probe is also configured to terminate the incoming call after a pre-defined period of time. The monitoring probe is further configured to send a quality report indicative of VoIP network performance. The system further includes a mobile device for placing the call to the monitoring probe.
