Measures reported by CtxNsIsIcaDevTest

Multiple NetScaler appliances may be configured in an environment for the purpose of load-balancing. By tracking the ICA sessions and applications launched via every NetScaler appliance, administrators can effortlessly determine whether/not load is uniformly distributed across the appliances. This is what the CtxNsIsIcaDevTest test helps administrators achieve.

This test auto-discovers the NetScaler appliances configured in an environment and measures the session and application load handled by each appliance. In the process, the test indicates how effective the load-balancing algorithm is and whether/not it needs to be tweaked.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_session_launches Indicates the total number of unique user sessions handled by this NetScaler appliance. Number Compare the value of this measure across NetScalers to know which NetScaler is overloaded with sessions.

Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and IP address of each NetScaler appliance configured in the environment and the count of unique sessions and applications that were launched through each.

Total_applications Indicates the total number of unique appliacates launched via this NetScaler appliance. Number Compare the value of this measure across NetScalers to know which NetScaler was used to launch most of the applications.
