Measures reported by CtxSDXXenHSWTest
Periodically, administrators should check the status of and track changes to critical software resources on an SDX appliance, such as the BMC Firmware, XenServer API, Health Monitor Plugin, Management Service, etc. This is because, if these software components do not function as expected, users may not be able to use the SDX appliance effectively. To avoid this, administrators should run the CtxSDXXenHSWTest test at regular intervals and keep tabs on the status of each of the software components on the SDX appliance.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each software resource supported by the target NetScaler SDX.

The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values have been listed in the table below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Ok |
100 |
| Error |
0 |
If the value of this measure is ‘Error’ for a resource, it indicates a deviation from the expected value.
For BMC Firmware version, it indicates deviation from the expected value; For calls to XenServer, it indicates that the Management Service is unable to communicate with XenServer by using an API, HTTP, PING, or SSH call; For Health Monitor Plugin, it indicates that the plugin is not installed on XenServer.
Note:
By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values to indicate the current state of a software resource. However, in the graph of this measure, the Measure Values will be represented using their corresponding numeric equivalents only.
