Load Balancing Service Group - Effective State Monitor

Summary

This monitor checks the current state of Citrix NetScaler Load Balancing ServiceGroup depending on state of the group members.

This monitor is enabled by default.

ServiceGroup on a NetScaler appliance can have any of the following statuses:

• UP

• DOWN

• PARTIAL UP

• PARTIAL DOWN

• OUT OF SERVICE

Configuration

The following configuration parameters are customizable:

• IntervalSeconds - The recurring interval of time in seconds in which to run the script (the default value is set to 300 seconds).

• SyncTime - The synchronization time specified by using a 24-hour format. No default value specified.

• CacheExpirationFactor - Cache expiration factor. Default value is 1.0.

• Debug - When true writes more info in events log. Default value is false.

• Success Value - Value or values (use vertical bar for separation: value1|value2|value3) expected for "success" health state of the monitor. Default value is UP|OUT OF SERVICE.

• Critical Value - Value or values (use vertical bar for separation: value1|value2|value3) expected for "critical" health state of the monitor. Default value is DOWN.

Monitor health state depends on values specified under "Success Value" and "Critical Value" parameters.

If retrieved servicegroup state value falls in neither "success" nor "critical" group, the monitor would go to the "warning" health state.
