Configuration of CtxNsIsWebMTypeTest

This test auto-discovers the media types served by the NetScaler appliances, and for every media type, it reports the number of requests for that media type and the bandwidth used by that media type.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often should the test be executed. It is recommended that you set the test period to 5 minutes. This is because, the Nitro API using which the eG agent collects metrics from HDX Insight, is capable of capturing only the performance data related to the last 5 minutes.

• In the HOST text box, specify the host for which this test is to be configured.

• To connect to HDX Insight and collect the metrics it captures, the eG agent needs to be configured with the credentials of a user with read-only permissions to HDX Insight. Type the name of this user against INSIGHT USERNAME and the password of this user against INSIGHT PASSWORD. Then, confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• By default, HDX Insight is not SSL-enabled. This is why, the SSL flag is set to No by default. If it is SSL-enabled, then change this flag to Yes.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$“ or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
