Synopsis

  • Configuration for identifier resource.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

acceptancethreshold

any

Non-Breaching transactions to Total transactions threshold expressed in percent.

Maximum of 6 decimal places is supported.

api_path

string

Base NITRO API path.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Default: "nitro/v1/config"

appflowlog

any

Enable/disable Appflow logging for stream identifier

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

breachthreshold

any

Breaching transactions threshold calculated over interval.

interval

any

Number of minutes of data to use when calculating session statistics (number of requests, bandwidth, and response times). The interval is a moving window that keeps the most recently collected data. Older data is discarded at regular intervals.

managed_netscaler_instance_id

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The ID of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_ip

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The IP of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_name

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The name of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_password

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The password of the managed NetScaler instance.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

In Settings > Administration > System Configurations > Basic Settings,

if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

managed_netscaler_instance_username

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The username of the managed NetScaler instance.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

In Settings > Administration > System Configurations > Basic Settings,

if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

maxtransactionthreshold

any

Maximum per transcation value of metric. Metric to be tracked is specified by tracktransactions attribute.

mintransactionthreshold

any

Minimum per transcation value of metric. Metric to be tracked is specified by tracktransactions attribute.

name

any

The name of stream identifier.

netscaler_console_as_proxy_server

boolean

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The IP address of the NetScaler ADC appliance acting as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

nitro_auth_token

string

The authentication token provided by a login operation.

nitro_pass

string

The password with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.

nitro_protocol

string

Which protocol to use when accessing the nitro API objects.

Choices:

  • "http"

  • "https" ← (default)

nitro_user

string

The username with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.

nsip

string / required

The ip address of the NetScaler ADC appliance where the nitro API calls will be made.

The port can be specified with the colon (:). E.g. 192.168.1.1:555.

samplecount

any

Size of the sample from which to select a request for evaluation. The smaller the sample count, the more accurate is the statistical data. To evaluate all requests, set the sample count to 1. However, such a low setting can result in excessive consumption of memory and processing resources.

save_config

boolean

If true the module will save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it makes any changes.

The module will not save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it made no changes.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

selectorname

any

Name of the selector to use with the stream identifier.

snmptrap

any

Enable/disable SNMP trap for stream identifier

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

sort

any

Sort stored records by the specified statistics column, in descending order. Performed during data collection, the sorting enables real-time data evaluation through Citrix ADC policies (for example, compression and caching policies) that use functions such as IS_TOP(n).

Choices:

  • "REQUESTS"

  • "CONNECTIONS"

  • "RESPTIME"

  • "BANDWIDTH"

  • "RESPTIME_BREACHES"

  • "NONE"

state

string

The state of the resource being configured by the module on the NetScaler ADC node.

When present, the resource will be added/updated configured according to the module’s parameters.

When absent, the resource will be deleted from the NetScaler ADC node.

When unset, the resource will be unset on the NetScaler ADC node.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

  • "unset"

trackackonlypackets

any

Track ack only packets as well. This setting is applicable only when packet rate limiting is being used.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

tracktransactions

any

Track transactions exceeding configured threshold. Transaction tracking can be enabled for following metric: ResponseTime.

By default transaction tracking is disabled

Choices:

  • "RESPTIME"

  • "NONE"

validate_certs

boolean

If false, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
