Troubleshooting NetScaler

By: Raghu Varma Tirumalaraju

Overview of this book

NetScaler is a high performance Application Delivery Controller (ADC). Making the most of it requires knowledge that straddles the application and networking worlds. As an ADC owner you will also likely be the first person to be solicited when your business applications fail. You will need to be quick in identifying if the problem is with the application, the server, the network, or NetScaler itself. This book provides you with the vital troubleshooting knowledge needed to act fast when issues happen. It gives you a thorough understanding of the NetScaler layout, how it integrates with the network, and what issues to expect when working with the traffic management, authentication, NetScaler Gateway and application firewall features. We will also look at what information to seek out in the logs, how to use tracing, and explore utilities that exist on NetScaler to help you find the root cause of your issues.

Summary


In this chapter, we looked at how to examine and troubleshoot uneven load balancing as well as performance issues when load balancing via the NetScaler. We then extended that learning to SSL, content switching, and global server load balancing, which are all application delivery features that many large enterprises rely on to deliver their applications at scale and in a globally distributed manner.

I hope the chapter has proven useful to you. In the next chapter, we will look at how to troubleshoot caching and compression, which are RFC standards-based features that help further optimize HTTP content delivery via the NetScaler.
