Netscaler Throughput

[Ken Lee1709160610]

We are planning to use Netscaler for our VDI access. we are using trial license for test. I want to know how can I monitor the network throughput so that company can make a right decision which license to purchase, VPX 1000 or VPX200. I install Citrix MAS, it can monitor the netscaler through put, but it check every 5 minute during the hourly report and 1 hour during the daily report. can I setup it up check more frequently so that I can get a accurate report regarding the throughput usage.

I tried, looks like it can't set more frequently check

I don't think MAS/ADM let's you poll more frequently than every 5min, "Your polling interval cannot be less than 5 minutes or more than 60 minutes.". Look at something like Cacti (or whichever SNMP tool you have access to) where you can poll interface statistics at the desired interval?

MAS is designed for longer-term monitoring.

 

For shorter term monitoring, use the "Dashboard" on the netscaler: it updates every 7 seconds, and holds the last 4 or 5 minutes of data (ie it's designed to give you a "live view". Also, if you zoom in using the "Reporting" page, you should also get more granular results.
