NetScaler CPU Usage Test
This test reports how well the CPU resources are utilized by the NetScaler device and also reports the number of CPU cores available in the NetScaler device.
Target of the test : A NetScaler VPX/MPX
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each processor supported by the NetScaler device.
| 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 and NetScaler Password |
To monitor a NetScaler device, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with read-only privileges to the target NetScaler device. Specify the credentials of such a user in the NetScaler Username and NetScaler Password text boxes. |
|
Confirm Password |
Confirm the NetScaler Password by retyping it here. |
|
SSL |
The eG agent collects performance metrics by invoking NITRO (NetScaler Interface Through Restful interfaces and Objects) APIs on the target NetScaler 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 NetScaler 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. |
| Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
|
CPU usage |
Indicates the percentage of CPU resources used by this processor. |
Percent |
For the 'Summary' descriptor, this value indicates the overall CPU usage of the NetScaler device as a whole. A value close to 100% indicates a CPU bottleneck on the NetScaler device. |
|
Management CPU usage |
Indicates the current management CPU usage of the NetScaler device. |
Percent |
This measure is available only for the 'Summary' descriptor. Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. |
|
Packet CPU usage |
Indicates the current packet CPU usage of the NetScaler device. |
Percent |
This measure is available only for the 'Summary' descriptor. Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. |
|
CPU cores |
Indicates the number of CPU cores currently supported by the NetScaler device. |
Number |
This measure is available only for the 'Summary' descriptor. |
