Web HTTP Request Methods Test
Using the Web Devices test, administrators can identify which NetScaler appliance is handling bandwidth-intensive web traffic. To further investigate this anomaly, administrators may want to drill down to the individual request methods used in the HTTP requests to the appliance and understand how much bandwidth each method consumes. These method-level insights can help isolate the exact method that could be eating into the bandwidth resources available to the NetScaler. The Web HTTP Request Methods test provides these useful method-level insights. This test auto-discovers the HTTP request methods in use and reports the number of requests received and bandwidth used per method. In the process, the test points to the most popular and the most bandwidth-intensive HTTP request methods.
Target of the test : Citrix NetScaler Web Insight
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every HTTP request method in use

Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Hits: |
Indicates the number of requests received by this NetScaler appliance using this HTTP request method. |
Number |
Compare the value of this measure across methods to know which method is the most popular. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the IP address and host name of the NetScaler ADC. |
Bandwidth: |
Indicates the total amount of data received by this appliance using this HTTP request method. |
KB |
Compare the value of this measure across methods to know which HTTP request method is consuming bandwidth excessively. |
Use the detailed diagnosis of the Hits measure to know the IP address and host name of the NetScaler ADC.
