This guide provides an explanation of the "AAA sessions" section within the ADC (Application Delivery Controller) reporting, specifically under "Citrix Gateway."

---

Instructions

Regarding the "reporting>AAA>AAA sessions"

• this counter accumulates historical AAA session numbers since the ADC appliance's last reboot. It provides insights into the total number of authentication and authorization sessions that have occurred over time.
• this counter is sourced from NetScaler's newnslog and resets to zero every time the ADC appliance undergoes a reboot. This ensures that the count remains relevant and doesn't include data from previous appliance sessions.

To check NetScaler current AAA sessions, apply "stat aaa" command in CLI
e.g:

> stat aaa
