Preface

NetScaler is a high performance Application Delivery Controller (ADC). Making the most of it requires knowledge that straddles the application and networking worlds.

As an ADC owner, you will also likely be the first person to be solicited when your business applications fail. You will need to be quick in identifying whether the problem is with the Application, the Server, the network, or NetScaler itself.

This book provides you with the vital troubleshooting knowledge needed to act fast when issues happen. It gives you a thorough understanding of the NetScaler layout, how it integrates with the network and what issues to expect when working with the Traffic Management, Authentication, NetScaler Gateway and Application Firewall features. We will also look at what information to seek out in the logs, how to use tracing and explore utilities that exist on the NetScaler to help you root cause your issues.
