check-netscaler-activeservices


A Nagios plugin to check the number of active backend services of a netscaler frontend instance.


This program makes use of the Nitro API for Citrix Netscaler (tested with v1). The URLs supplied to -u are the specific for your configuration. At the
moment, a lbvserver (Load Balancing Virtual Server) configuration is assumed.

Netscaler check with absolute count of services:


$ check-netscaler-activeservices -f config.yml \
-u https://netscaler/nitro/v1/config/lbvserver/WEB_T_LBVSRV_WEB_somehost_HTTPS \
-c 1 -w 2
[CRITICAL] Threshold (1), Active (1), Total (4)


Netscaler check with relative count of services (percentage of total):


$ check-netscaler-activeservices -f config.yml \
-u https://netscaler/nitro/v1/config/lbvserver/WEB_T_LBVSRV_WEB_somehost_HTTPS \
-c 25 -w 50 -p
[CRITICAL] Threshold (1), Active (1), Total (4)
