Select to view applications based on the scores.
-
Critical – Application score is between 0 and < 40
-
Fair – Application score is between 40 and < 75
-
Good – Application score is greater than 75
-
Not Applicable – Either there are no licensed virtual servers configured for the application or the virtual server type is not the load balancing or content switching.
The following table describes the differences between the earlier app score and the present app score.
Application score (Critical, Review, Good, Not Applicable) App score (earlier view with color legends) Score is calculated as 100 minus penalty score of all application current issues Score is calculated as 100 – (App server resource + NetScaler system resource) Applications are displayed in colors such Red (critical), Orange (review), Green (good), and Gray (Not Applicable) Applications are displayed in color legends.

The following are the application summary for which you can apply filters:
-
Response Time – A histogram that displays the average response time received by the applications
-
Error Rate – A histogram that displays the average error percentage of 5xx errors for the applications
-
Total Requests – A histogram that displays the total number of requests received by the applications
-
Throughput – A histogram that displays the total network throughput processed by the applications
-
Data Volume – A histogram that displays the total data processed by the applications. Data volume is calculated by the total request bytes and response bytes for the applications.
-
Client Connections – A histogram that displays the average client connections established by the applications
-
Server Connections – A histogram that displays the average server connections established by the applications
-
Packets Sent – A histogram that displays the total packets sent by the applications
-
Packets Received – A histogram that displays the total packets received by the applications
-
Virtual Server Health – A histogram that displays the total applications between the score range 0% to 100%. A virtual server health is (%) of active services associated with the application. For example, if a virtual server is configured with 2 services and if one of them is down, the score is 50%.

Search and filter results using the search bar
You can place the mouse pointer on the search bar and select the category to refine the search.
Create and apply tags to applications
If you have a large number of applications, you can create and apply tags to applications. These tags improve the search functionality.
Example:
The following procedure lists the steps to create tags for the load balancing applications:
-
In App Dashboard, select the load balancing applications that you want to create tags and click Tags.
-
In the Update Tags:
-
Specify a name of your choice. For example: Type.
-
Specify the value that enables you to assign the tags. You can also enter multiple values. For example: Loadbalance.
-
Click Apply.
The tag is created.
-
To apply tags and retrieve the load balancing applications:
-
In the app dashboard search bar, click inside the textbox to view the created tag and select the tag name.
-
Select the operator (IN) and the value that is created, and then click Search.
All the load balancing applications that are tagged under Loadbalance are listed. Similarly, you can create tags for other applications.
