NetScaler Load Balancing Report

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

Use the report to answer questions such as:

• Do I need to add more capacity to serve the load balancers?
• How many requests does a certain load balancer usually handle during business hours?
• Is load balancer traffic and behavior influencing user experience?

• You can click a data point in the charts to view the minimum, average, and maximum number of client connections, request/response bits, and services bound to selected virtual servers during the selected time period.
• You can click a data series name on the bottom of the chart to highlight or toggle the series on the charts.
