NetScaler Console service

Configure NetScaler instances for the export of insights to Prometheus using the default schema

NetScaler supports directly exporting metrics to Prometheus. You can use the rich set of metrics provided by NetScaler instance to monitor NetScaler health and application health. For example, you can gather metrics on CPU and memory usage to know the NetScaler health. Similarly, you can use metrics like the number of HTTP requests received per second or the number of active clients to monitor application health.

To export the metrics to Prometheus, you must configure an analytics profile with type as time series. For more information, see Monitor NetScaler, applications, and application security using Prometheus.
