NetScaler supports direct export of metrics to Splunk in the JSON format. NetScaler provides rich metrics to monitor your application health and application security health. By exporting the metrics provided by NetScaler to Splunk, you can visualize the metrics and get meaningful insights.

Audit logging enables you to log the NetScaler states and status information collected by various modules in NetScaler. By reviewing the logs, you can troubleshoot problems or errors and fix them.
