VPath Test
Use this test to monitor the incoming and outgoing packet traffic of vPaths, so you can determine the type of packets that are commonly received/transmitted over the vPaths.
Target of the test : A Citrix ADC VPX/MPX
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Citrix ADC VPX/MPX appliance being monitored.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The IP address of the host for which the test is being configured. |
|
NetScaler Username, NetScaler Password, and Confirm Password |
To monitor a ADC device, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with read-only privileges to the target ADC device. Specify the credentials of such a user in the NetScaler Username and NetScaler Password text boxes. Then, confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box. |
|
SSL |
The eG agent collects performance metrics by invoking NITRO (ADC Interface Through Restful interfaces and Objects) APIs on the target ADC device. Typically, the NITRO APIs can be invoked through the HTTP or the HTTPS mode. By default, the eG agent invokes the NITRO APIs using the HTTPS mode. This is why, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. If the target ADC device is not SSL-enabled, then the NITRO APIs can be accessed through the HTTP mode only. In this case, set the SSL flag to No. |
