NetScaler Console provides the following features:

Application Analytics and Management

App Score is the product of a scoring system that defines how well an application is performing. It shows whether the application is performing well in terms of responsiveness, is not vulnerable to threats, and has all the systems up and running.

Application security analytics

The App Security Dashboard provides a holistic view of the security status of your applications. For example, it shows key security metrics such as security violations, signature violations, threat indexes. App Security dashboard also displays attack related information such as SYN attacks, small window attacks, and DNS flood attacks for the discovered NetScaler instances.

Networks

Instances

Enables you to manage the NetScaler and NetScaler Gateway instances.

Instance groups

Enables you to group your instances as follows:

Static Group: Allow you to define a device group that you can use in different tasks such as, Configuration Jobs and so on.
Private IP-block: Enables you to group your instances based on geographical locations.

Event management

When the IP address of a NetScaler instance is added to NetScaler Console, a NITRO call is sent by NetScaler Console and implicitly adds itself as a trap destination for the instance to receive its traps or events.

Events represent occurrences of events or errors on a managed NetScaler instance.

Certificate management

NetScaler Console now streamlines every aspect of certificate management for you. Through a single console, you can establish automated policies to ensure the right issuer, key strength, and correct algorithms, while keeping close tabs on certificates that are unused or soon to expire. To begin using NetScaler Console SSL dashboard and its functionalities, you must understand what an SSL certificate is and how you can use NetScaler Console to track your SSL certificates.

Configuration management

NetScaler Console allows you to create configuration jobs that help you perform configuration tasks, such as creating entities, configuring features, replication of configuration changes, system upgrades, and other maintenance activities with ease on multiple instances. Configuration jobs and templates simplify the most repetitive administrative tasks to a single task on NetScaler Console.

Configuration audit

Enables you to monitor and identify anomalies in the configurations across your instances.

Configuration Advice: Allows you to identify configuration anomaly.
Audit template: Allows you to monitor the changes across a specific configuration.

Network reporting

You can optimize resource usage by monitoring your network reporting on NetScaler Console.

Orchestration

Cloud Orchestration

Enables integration of NetScaler products with OpenStack cloud orchestration. NetScaler Console and OpenStack implement each other’s APIs, enabling integration of the NetScaler instance’s Load Balancing feature (LBaaS) with OpenStack cloud orchestration.

Orchestration

NetScaler Console supports SDN in the enterprise network by integrating with SDN controllers of different vendors. NetScaler Console supports both VMware NSX Manager and Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC).
