Measures reported by CtxGwAppFwallTest

Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector protects against a wide variety of threats with integrated security capabilities (like Application firewall) that protect applications resources, augmenting existing network-layer security protections. The Application Firewall secures web applications, prevents inadvertent or intentional disclosure of confidential information and aids in compliance with information security regulations such as PCI-DSS.

This test tracks the network traffic flowing through the Application Firewall, and reports the count of requests/responses transferred and the count of requests that were aborted/redirected by the Application Firewall. The statistics reported by this test thus serve as a good measure of the efficiency of the Application Firewall.

Outputs of the test :One set of results for the Citrix Cloud Connector Gateway to be monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Requests Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests transmitted through the Application Firewall during the last measurement period. Number  
Request_rate Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests transmitted through the Application Firewall per second during the last measurement period. Requests/second  
Responses Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS responses transferred through the Application Firewall during the last measurement period. Number  
Response_rate Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS responses transmitted through the Application Firewall per second during the last measurement period. Responses/second  
Aborts Indicates the number of incomplete HTTP/HTTPS requests aborted by the client before the Application Firewall completes processing during the last measurement period. Number High values for these measures could warrant an investigation.
Aborts_rate Indicates the number of incomplete HTTP/HTTPS requests aborted by the client before the Application Firewall completes processing per second during the last measurement period. Aborts/second
Redirects Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests redirected by the Application Firewall to a different web page or web server during the last measurement period. Number  
Redirects_rate Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests redirected by the Application Firewall to a different web page or web server per second during the last measurement period. Redirects/second
