Measures reported by CtxNsIsWebUATest

Users can connect to web applications using may client devices - web browsers, mobile phones, tablets, etc. Each such client device is called a user agent. Users using certain types of client devices/user agents may be engaged in bandwidth-intensive communication over the web, scarring the experience of other users to the web applications. To capture such problem conditions quickly, it would be best to know what types of client devices users are connecting from and how much bandwidth each of these device types are currently consuming. This is exactly what the CtxNsIsWebUATest test reveals!

This test auto-discovers the types of client devices that are used for connecting to web applications, and reports the requests received from and bandwidth used by each device type. This way, the test leads administrators to those device types that are popular amidst users and those that are consuming bandwidth excessively.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Hits Indicates the number of requests received from this type of client. Number Compare the value of this measure across client types to identify that client that is used by a wide cross-section of application users.

Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the IP address and host name of the NetScaler ADC.
Bandwidth Indicates the total amount of data received from clients of this type. KB Compare the value of this measure across clients to know which type of client has been consistently consuming more bandwidth than the rest.
Render_time Indicates the elapsed time, from when the browser on this device starts to receive the first byte of a response until either all page content has been rendered or the page load action has timed out. msecs Compare the value of this measure across client devices to know which type of device is seeing the maximum page rendering time.
