Throughput - CCGC Test

When users complain of slowness of the target connector, administrators should first check the throughput of the appliance. Throughput reveals how well/badly the target connector processes network traffic. Low throughput is indicative of a traffic processing bottleneck, which can cause users to experience slowness when interacting with the target connector. To receive real-time insights into the throughput of the target connector, administrators can use the Throughput - CCGC test. This test measures the throughput of the target connector in real-time and alerts administrators if the throughput is low. Additionally, the test also reveals where the bottleneck is - when processing incoming network traffic? or outgoing network traffic?

Target of the test : A Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector to be monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the connector listens. By default, this is 8443.
Username and Password	To monitor a Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with read-only privileges to the target connector. Specify the credentials of such a user in the Username and Password text boxes.
Confirm Password	Confirm the Password by retyping it here.
SSL	By default, the SSL flag is set to No indicating that the eG agent will communicate with the connector via HTTP by default. If the target connector is SSL-enabled, then set this flag to Yes to enable the eG agent to communicate with target connector via HTTPS.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Input throughput	Indicates the rate at which the target connector processes incoming network traffic.	Mbps	If the value of the Total throughput measure is abnormally high or is increasing consistently, you may want to compare the value of the Input throughput and Output throughput measures to understand when the maximum slowness occurred - when processing incoming traffic? or when processing outgoing traffic?
Output throughput	Indicates the rate at which the target connector processes outgoing network traffic.	Mbps
Total throughput	Indicates the rate at which the target connector processes network traffic.	Mbps	This is the sum of the Input throughput and Output throughput measures and reveals the overall network throughput of the appliance. A consistent drop in the value of this measure could indicate that the target connector does not have adequate bandwidth resources for processing network traffic.
