Measures reported by CtxSDXXenTraficTest
When users complain of slowness of the SDX appliance, administrators should first check the throughput of the appliance. Throughput reveals how well/badly the appliance processes network traffic. Low throughput is indicative of a traffic processing bottleneck, which can cause users to experience slowness when interacting with the appliance. To receive real-time insights into the throughput of the SDX appliance, administrators can use the CtxSDXXenMemoryTest test. This test measures the throughput of the SDX appliance in real-time and alerts administrators if the throughput is low. Additionally, the test also reveals where the bottleneck is - when processing incoming network traffic? or outgoing network traffic?
Outputs of the test : One set of results the target NetScaler SDX.

Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Input_throughput |
Indicates the rate at which the SDX appliance processes incoming network traffic. |
Mbps |
If the value of the Total_throughput measure is abnormally high or is increasing consistently, you may want to compare the value of the Input throughput and Output throughput measures to understand when the maximum slowness occurred - when processing incoming traffic? or when processing outgoing traffic? |
| Output_throughput |
Indicates the rate at which the SDX appliance processes outgoing network traffic. |
Mbps |
| Total_throughput |
Indicates the rate at which the SDX appliance processes network traffic. |
Mbps |
This is the sum of the Input_throughput and Output_throughput measures and reveals the overall network throughput of the appliance.
A consistent drop in the value of this measure could indicate that the appliance does not have adequate bandwidth resources for processing network traffic.
