NetScaler Console Cloud Connect
You can use the NetScaler Console Cloud Connect feature to establish a connection between NetScaler Console on-prem and NetScaler Console service.
This connectivity enables you to select the following feature to use in NetScaler Console on-prem:
Security Advisory – Security Advisory supports automated identification of vulnerable NetScaler and provides remediation workflow benefits. Security Advisory enables you to track any new Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), assess the impact of CVEs, understand the remediation, and resolve the vulnerabilities. As an administrator, you can monitor the NetScaler instances for any new CVEs through the periodic scan or by manually scanning, and take required action for the remediation. For more information, see Security Advisory.
Automated Telemetry Collection – If you are using Flexed licensing, we recommend you to enable Cloud Connect, which is the automated mode of telemetry data collection. For more information, see Flexed capacity license.
Notes:
You do not need to add or migrate the NetScaler instances to NetScaler Console service.
Cloud Connect requires you to connect to NetScaler Console service by setting up a NetScaler Console service account (if not created already).
Starting from 14.1 8.x build, Cloud Connect replaces the Customer Identity feature.
After you configure Cloud Connect, it will enable Citrix Cloud to collect license, configuration, usage data for license compliance, and to manage, measure and improve the service. For more information, see Data Governance.
When you configure Cloud Connect, optional telemetry parameters are also collected to manage, measure, and improve the service. You can also disable this option if you do not want to share the optional parameters. For more information, see Data categories.
Prerequisites

-
Ensure to have internet connection or have a proxy server configured in NetScaler Console on-prem for Citrix Cloud accessibility.

What happens if Customer Identity is already enabled?
If you are an existing user on an earlier build with Customer Identity enabled, selected data sharing, and upgraded to the latest build (14.1 8.x), the following scenarios are applicable:
-
If you have a NetScaler Console service tenant, Cloud Connect is automatically enabled in your NetScaler Console on-prem. It will enable Citrix Cloud to collect license, configuration and usage data to manage, measure, and improve the service. For more information, see Data Governance. From the Cloud Connect configuration page, you can select Security Advisory to use the feature.
The following notification appears if Cloud Connect is automatically configured in your NetScaler Console.
-
If you do not have a NetScaler Console service tenant or data sharing is not enabled as part of the Customer Identity, the Cloud Connect is not automatically enabled and you must manually configure Cloud Connect. After you configure, it will enable Citrix Cloud to collect license, configuration and usage data to manage, measure and improve the service. Learn more about the data collection.
Other options
After you enable Cloud Connect, you can use the following options:
