By tracking the user activity on the NetScaler appliance, administrators will be able to determine the session load on the appliance at any given point in time. Moreover, by observing user logins over time, administrators will be able to easily figure out if user logins are happening consistently or sporadically. The latter could hint at a connection issue, requiring immediate attention. Also, when monitoring user sessions, administrators will also be able to capture unexpected logouts or abrupt session terminations and investigate the reason for the same. Such useful session-based insights are provided by the NetScaler Sessions test.

This test tracks user logins to the NetScaler appliance, and measures the current session load on the appliance. The test additionally reports the count and percentage of new logins, and also captures inexplicable session logouts. The detailed diagnostics provided by the test also point administrators to the users who logged in newly and the users whose sessions logged out.

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Current_sessions	Indicates the current number of sessions on the NetScaler appliance.	Number	This is a good indicator of the current session load on the appliance.
New_sessions	Indicates the number of new logins to the NetScaler in the last measurement period.	Number	A consistent zero value could indicate a connection issue. You can use the detailed diagnosis of this test to know which users logged in recently.
New_sessions_pct	Indicates the percentage of current sessions that logged in during the last measurement period.	Percent
Logout_sessions	Indicates the number of sessions that logged out.	Percent	If all the current sessions suddenly log out, it indicates a problem condition that requires investigation. The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the sessions that logged out.
