Measures reported by CtxNsCachePTest

For many Citrix ADC features, policies control how a feature evaluates data. A policy uses a logical expression, called as rule, to evaluate data, and applies one or more actions based on evaluation. Alternatively, a policy can apply a profile, which defines a complex action.

This test auto-discovers policies and reports the count of connections that match every policy. This way, administrators can identify the policy that applies to the maximum number of connections.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for each policy configured on the Citrix ADC VPX/MPX appliance being monitored.

Descriptor: Policy

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Hits Indicates the count of requests that matched this policy during the last measurement period. Number

Compare the value of this measure across policy to know which policy label was applied to the maximum number of connections.

If this value is abnormally high for any policy, you may want to review the policy to verify if it has been correctly configured.

Undef_hits Indicates the count of requests for which this policy triggered an undefined event during the last measurement period. Number

An undefined event is triggered when the NetScaler cannot evaluate a policy, usually because it detects a logical or other error in the policy or an error condition on the NetScaler.

Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0.
