CAG Data Layer Test
This test monitors the data layer of the Citrix Access Gateway, and reports the type of requests that are being received by the Access Gateway and how well it processes the requests; in the process, the test reveals processing bottlenecks (if any).
Target of the test : A Citrix Access Gateway
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every Citrix Access Gateway being monitored.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured. |
|
Port |
The port at which the specific host is listening. |
Measurements made by the test
| Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |

Context requests waiting |
Indicates the number of context requests waiting on the data layer. |

The Citrix Access Gateway embeds SmartAccess capabilities by means of which the Access Gateway can not only grant/deny users access to specific applications/information, but can also determine what the user can do with the information/application so accessed. For example, based on the access device and/or location, organizations can control whether users are allowed to view, print, edit or save information. This is also known as Contextual Access Control. The value of this measure indicates the number of requests that are currently waiting for the Access Gateway to provide context-based access. A high value of this measure implies that context requests are not being processed quickly; this could be owing to a processing bottleneck, and hence warrants further investigation. |

The application streaming feature simplifies application deployment to end users. With the application streaming feature, you can install and configure an application on one file server and deliver it to any desktop or server on demand. While publishing a streamed application for access by end users, you also need to configure the Access Gateway to allow such a user access. These measures help administrators gauge how well the Access Gateway handles user requests for published applications. |

Write streams created |
Indicates the rate at which write streams were created. |
