Assign a net profile for the managed NetScaler instance

When you enable analytics or metrics collector for the virtual servers in NetScaler Console, the AppFlow or metrics data from the NetScaler is exported to NetScaler Console through the NetScaler subnet IP address (SNIP). In some scenarios, the SNIP might be blocked because of the firewall in the network. In such scenarios, you might have to use a different IP address than the SNIP. For more information about net profile, see Use a specified source IP for back-end communication.

You can assign a net profile to a NetScaler instance through NetScaler Console for exporting AppFlow data from NetScaler to NetScaler Console.

Prerequisites

Ensure that:

  • The NetScaler instance version is 13.0-48.4 or later.

  • Net profile is configured in NetScaler instances.

To assign a net profile in NetScaler Console:

  1. Navigate to Infrastructure > Instances > NetScaler.

  2. Select the instance, and from the Select Action list:

    • Click Configure Net Profiles to assign a net profile for AppFlow.

    • Click Configure Net Profiles for Metrics Collector to assign a net profile for metrics collector.

  3. Select a net profile from the list and click Apply.

Note:

  • For AppFlow, ensure that you disable analytics for all virtual servers before you assign a net profiles for the instance.

  • For Metrics Collector, ensure that you disable metrics for all virtual servers before you assign a net profiles for the instance.
