    Article summary

    The NetScaler report shows the usage trends of the NetScaler appliances in your organization by summarizing data about past activity and performance. You can view the data either individually for each appliance, or in summary form, for all selected appliances. By default, the selected time frame is the previous 24 hours.

    Use the report to answer questions such as:

    • Which NetScalers were available during the selected time frame?
    • Is the workload shared evenly among my organization's NetScalers?
    • Were there any configuration changes on our NetScaler appliances and, if so, when did they occur?
    • Is a NetScaler itself causing bottlenecks?

    Report Functionality

    The report provides the following functionalities:

    • Displays data in two views. Select to view to plot all selected appliances on the graphs individually, or as a summary of all selected appliances:
      • One Line - Summary. By default, plots all selected appliances as a single line. If the metric is a percentage, the value is the average of the percentages of all selected appliances. For all other metrics, the value is the sum of the average values of all selected appliances.
      • One Line - Per Appliance. Plots all selected appliances individually.

     

    Note

    The graph display mode does not affect the grid at the bottom of the report.

    •  Hover over a chart to display the metrics of each data point in the popover.
    • You can click a data series name on the bottom of the chart to highlight or toggle the series on the chart.

    The report displays the following charts:

    Note
    Words in parentheses relate to One-Line Per Appliance mode. They replace the words immediately preceding them, which relate to the default mode, One Line – Summary.
    • Traffic In/Out. Total (average) rate at which incoming and outgoing traffic were handled by the NICs of all (each) of the selected NetScaler appliances together (individually), in Mbps.
    • Packet CPU. Average packet-CPU utilization of all (each) of the selected NetScaler appliances, as a percentage.
    • Memory. Average memory utilization of all (each) of the selected NetScaler appliances, as a percentage.
    • HDX Sessions. Total (average) number of HDX sessions underway on all (each) of the selected NetScaler appliances together (individually).
    • Management CPU. Average utilization of management CPU on all (each) of the selected NetScaler appliances, as a percentage.
