Monitoring CloudBridge Connector tunnels

You can display the statistics for monitoring the performance of a CloudBridge Connector tunnel. To display CloudBridge Connector tunnel statistics on a NetScaler appliance, use the GUI or the NetScaler command line.

The following table lists the statistical counters available for monitoring CloudBridge Connector tunnels on a NetScaler appliance.

   
Statistical counter Specifies
Bytes Received Total number of bytes received by the NetScaler appliance through all the configured CloudBridge Connector tunnels since the appliance was last started.
Bytes Sent Total number of bytes sent by the NetScaler appliance through all the configured CloudBridge Connector tunnels since the appliance was last started.
Packets Received Total number of packets received by the NetScaler appliance through all the configured CloudBridge Connector tunnels since the appliance was last started.
Packets Sent Total number of packets sent by the NetScaler appliance through all the configured CloudBridge Connector tunnels since the appliance was last started.
Bytes Received Rate Number of bytes per second received by the NetScaler appliance through all the configured CloudBridge Connector tunnels.
Bytes Sent Rate Number of bytes per second sent by the NetScaler appliance through all the configured CloudBridge Connector tunnels
Packets Received Rate Number of bytes per second received by the NetScaler appliance through all the configured CloudBridge Connector tunnels
­Packets Sent Rate Number of bytes per second received by the NetScaler appliance through all the configured CloudBridge Connector tunnels

All these counters are reset to 0 when the NetScaler appliance is restarted. They do not increment during the following phases:

  • Internet Key Exchange (IKE) authentication (pre-shared key) phase on any configured CloudBridge Connector tunnel.
  • IKE Security Association (SA) establishment phase on any configured CloudBridge Connector tunnel.

To display CloudBridge Connector tunnel statistics by using the NetScaler command line

At the command prompt, type:

  • stat ipsec counters

To display CloudBridge Connector tunnel statistics by using the GUI

  1. Access the GUI by using a web browser to connect to the IP address of the NetScaler appliance.
  2. On the Configuation tab, navigate to System > CloudBridge Connector.
  3. On the CloudBridge Connector page, click Create/Monitor CloudBridge Connector. The IPSec Bytes and IPSec Packets charts display the bytes received rate, bytes sent rate, packets received rate, and packets sent rate of all the CloudBridge Connector tunnels configured on the NetScaler appliance.
