Application Firewall - CCGC Test
Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector protects against a wide variety of threats with integrated security capabilities (like Application firewall) that protect applications resources, augmenting existing network-layer security protections. The Application Firewall secures web applications, prevents inadvertent or intentional disclosure of confidential information and aids in compliance with information security regulations such as PCI-DSS.
This test tracks the network traffic flowing through the Application Firewall, and reports the count of requests/responses transferred and the count of requests that were aborted/redirected by the Application Firewall. The statistics reported by this test thus serve as a good measure of the efficiency of the Application Firewall.
Target of the test : A Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector to be monitored.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
Host |
The host for which the test is to be configured. |
Port |
The port at which the connector listens. By default, this is 443. |
Username and Password |
To monitor a Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with read-only privileges to the target connector. Specify the credentials of such a user in the Username and Password text boxes. |
Confirm Password |
Confirm the Password by retyping it here. |
SSL |
By default, the SSL flag is set to No indicating that the eG agent will communicate with the connector via HTTP by default. If the target connector is SSL-enabled, then set this flag to Yes to enable the eG agent to communicate with target connector via HTTPS. |
Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Requests |
Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests transmitted through the Application Firewall during the last measurement period. |
Number |
|
Request rate |
Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests transmitted through the Application Firewall per second during the last measurement period. |
Requests/sec |
|
Responses |
Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS responses transferred through the Application Firewall during the last measurement period. |
Number |
|
Response rate |
Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS responses transmitted through the Application Firewall per second during the last measurement period. |
Responses/sec |
|
Aborts |
Indicates the number of incomplete HTTP/HTTPS requests aborted by the client before the Application Firewall completes processing during the last measurement period. |
Number |
High values for these measures could warrant an investigation.
|
Abort rate |
Indicates the number of incomplete HTTP/HTTPS requests aborted by the client before the Application Firewall completes processing per second during the last measurement period. |
Aborts/sec |
|
Redirects |
Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests redirected by the Application Firewall to a different web page or web server during the last measurement period. |
Number |
|
Redirect rate |
Indicates the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests redirected by the Application Firewall to a different web page or web server per second during the last measurement period. |
Redirects/sec |
