This article contains information about the newnslog clustering related counters and a brief description.
Log on to the ADC using an SSH client, change to SHELL, navigate to the /var/nslog directory, and then use the ‘nsconmsg’ command to see comprehensive statistics using the different counters available. For the detailed procedure refer to Citrix Blog - NetScaler ‘Counters’ Grab-Bag!.
newnslog counter | Description |
cl_cur_enable | State of the cluster |
cl_cur_nodes_num | Number of nodes in the cluster |
cl_cur_vleader | NetScaler IP (NSIP) address of the Configuration Coordinator (CCO) of the cluster |
cl_tot_dfd_steeredpkts | Total number of packets steered on the cluster backplane |
cl_err_dfd_dropped_steeredpkts | Number of steered packets that are dropped |
cl_tot_bkplane_rx_mbits | Traffic received on backplane (in mbits) |
cl_tot_bkplane_tx_mbits | Traffic transmitted from backplane (in mbits) |
clusterd_tot_cu_timedout | Number of times the update to the client timed-out |
cl_cur_nodeip | NSIP address of the cluster node |
cl_cur_adminstate | Admin State of the node in the cluster |
cl_cur_masterstate | Operational state of the cluster node |
cl_eff_health | Health of the cluster node |
clusterd_cur_recstate | Sync state of the cluster node |
clusterd_cur_chstate | Health State of the node with respect to sync in the cluster |
cl_tot_hb_tx_pkts | Number of heartbeats sent. When executed from the NSIP address, shows the statistics for local node only. For remote node it shows a value of 0. When executed from the cluster IP address, shows all the statistics |
cl_tot_hb_rx_pkts | Number of heartbeats received. When executed from the NSIP address, shows the statistics for local node only. For remote node it shows a value of 0. When executed from the cluster IP address, shows all the statistics |
cl_local_hb_tx_pkts | Heartbeats Sent to node |
cl_local_hb_rx_pkts | Heartbeats received from node |
cl_tot_ptp_rx_pkts | Number of PTP packets received on the node. When executed from the NSIP address, shows the statistics for local node only. For remote node it shows a value of 0. When executed from the cluster IP address, shows all the statistics |
cl_tot_ptp_tx_pkts | Number of PTP packets transmitted by the node. When executed from the NSIP address, shows the statistics for local node only. For remote node it shows a value of 0. When executed from the cluster IP address, shows all the statistics |
cl_cur_ptp_state | PTP state of the node. This state is Master for one node and Slave for the rest. When executed from the NSIP address, shows the statistics for local node only. For remote node it shows UNKNOWN. When executed from the cluster IP address, shows all the statistics |
nnm_cur_local_conn | Number of connections open for node-to-node communication |
nnm_tot_conn_local_msg_tx | Number of node-to-node messages sent. When executed from the NSIP address, shows the statistics for local node only. For remote node it shows a value of 0. When executed from the cluster IP address, shows all the statistics |
nnm_tot_conn_local_msg_rx | Number of node-to-node messages received. When executed from the NSIP address, shows the statistics for local node only. For remote node it shows a value of 0. When executed from the cluster IP address, shows all the statistics |
nnm_err_local_msg_msend | Number of errors in sending node-to-node multicast/broadcast messages. When executed from the NSIP address, shows the statistics for local node only. For remote node it shows a value of 0. When executed from the cluster IP address, shows all the statistics |
