Measures reported by CtxNsMemoryTest

This test reports how well the NetScaler device uses the memory available to it, tracks shared memory usage by the device, and promptly alerts administrators to abnormal memory usage by the device.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_memory Indicates the total memory available for use in the packet engine (PE) of this NetScaler device. MB  
Allocated_memory Indicates the amount of memory that is currently allocated to the NetScaler features. MB  
Memory_allocated_pct Indicates the percentage of memory that is allocated to the NetScaler features. Percent  
NetScaler_memory_in_use Indicates the amount of memory that is currently utilized by the NetScaler device. MB A low value is desired for this measure. A consistent increase in this value could be indicative of a potential memory contention.
NetScaler_mem_in_use_pct Indicates the percentage of memory that is currently in use in this NetScaler device. Percent
Total_shared_memory Indicates the amount of memory that is allocated for sharing by this NetScaler device. MB  
Shared_memory_in_use Indicates the amount of shared memory that is currently in use in this NetScaler device. MB Ideally, this value should be low.
Shared_memroy_in_use_pct Indicates the percentage of shared memory that is currently in use in this NetScaler device. Percent Ideally, this value should be low.
Free_memory Indicates the amount of memory that is currently available for use in this Netscaler device. MB A high value is desired for this measure.
Max_memory Indicates the maximum amount of memory that is can be utilized by this Netscaler device. MB
