Measures reported by CtxNsAuthPLTest

For many NetScaler features, policies control how a feature evaluates data, which ultimately determines what the feature does with the data. A policy uses a logical expression, also called a rule, to evaluate requests, responses, or other data, and applies one or more actions determined by the outcome of the evaluation. Alternatively, a policy can apply a profile, which defines a complex action.

A policy label is a user-defined bind point to which policies are bound. When a policy label is invoked, all the policies bound to it are evaluated in the order of the priority you configured. A policy label can include one or more policies, each of which can be assigned its own result. A match on one policy in the policy label can result in proceeding to the next policy, invoking a different policy label or appropriate resource, or an immediate end to policy evaluation and return of control to the policy that invoked the policy label. You can create policy labels only for advanced policies.

This test auto-discovers the policy labels that have been configured on the NetScaler, and reports the number of a times each policy label was invoked.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Policy_label_hits Indicates the number of times this policy label of the NetScaler was invoked. Number Compare the value of this measure across labels to identify which label was invoked often.
