Name Data Type Permissions Description
clearstats <String> Read-write Clear the statsistics / counters.

Possible values = basic, full
cachemaxmemorykb <Double> Read-only Largest amount of memory the Citrix ADC can dedicate to caching, up to 50% of available memory. A 0 value disables caching, but the caching module continues to run.
cacherecentpercentsuccessfulrevalidation <Double> Read-only Recently recorded percentage of times stored content was successfully revalidated by a 304 response rather than by a full response
cacherecentpercentstoreablemiss <Double> Read-only Recently recorded ratio of store-able misses to all misses expressed as percentage.
cacherecentpercentparameterizedhits <Double> Read-only Recently recorded ratio of parameterized 304 hits to all parameterized hits expressed as a percentage
cacherecentpercentoriginbandwidthsaved <Double> Read-only Bytes served from cache divided by total bytes served to client. This ratio can be greater than 1 because of the assumption that all compression has been done in the Citrix ADC.
cacherecentpercenthit <Double> Read-only Recently recorded cache hit ratio expressed as percentage
cacherecentpercentbytehit <Double> Read-only Recently recorded cache byte hit ratio expressed as percentage. Here we define byte hit ratio as ((number of bytes served from the cache)/(total number of bytes served to the client)). This is the standard definition of Byte Hit Ratio. If compression is turned ON in NS then this ratio doesn't mean much. This might under or over estimate the origin-to-cache bandwidth saving (depending upon whether bytes served by CMP in Citrix ADC are more or less than compressed bytes served from the cache). If CMP is turned OFF in NS then this ratio is same as cacheRecentPercentOriginBandwidthSaved.
cacherecentpercent304hits <Double> Read-only Recently recorded ratio of 304 hits to all hits expressed as percentage
cacheutilizedmemorykb <Double> Read-only Amount of memory the integrated cache is currently using.
cachemaxmemoryactivekb <Double> Read-only Currently active value of maximum memory
cache64maxmemorykb <Double> Read-only Largest amount of memory the Citrix ADC can dedicate to caching, up to 50% of available memory. A 0 value disables caching, but the caching module continues to run.
cachepercentpethits <Double> Read-only Percentage of cache hits in content groups that have Poll Every Time enabled, relative to all searches of content groups with Poll Every Time enabled.
cachetotpethits <Double> Read-only Number of times a cache hit was found during a search of a content group that has Poll Every Time enabled.
cachepethitsrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachetotpethits
cachepercentparameterized304hits <Double> Read-only Percentage of parameterized 304 hits relative to all parameterized hits.
cachetotparameterizedhits <Double> Read-only Parameterized requests resulting in either a 304 or non-304 hit.
cacheparameterizedhitsrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachetotparameterizedhits
cachepercentsuccessfulrevalidation <Double> Read-only Percentage of times stored content was successfully revalidated by a 304 (Object Not Modifed) response rather than by a full response
cachepercentstoreablemiss <Double> Read-only Responses that were fetched from the origin, stored in the cache, and then served to the client, as a percentage of all cache misses.
cachetotfulltoconditionalrequest <Double> Read-only Number of user-agent requests for a cached Poll Every Time (PET) response that were sent to the origin server as conditional requests.
cachefulltoconditionalrequestrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachetotfulltoconditionalrequest
cachetotsuccessfulrevalidation <Double> Read-only Total number of times stored content was successfully revalidated by a 304 Not Modified response from the origin.
cachesuccessfulrevalidationrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachetotsuccessfulrevalidation
cachetotrevalidationmiss <Double> Read-only Responses that an intervening cache revalidated with the integrated cache before serving, as determined by a Cache-Control: Max-Age header configurable in the integrated cache
cacherevalidationmissrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachetotrevalidationmiss
cachetotnonstoreablemisses <Double> Read-only Cache misses for which the fetched response is not stored in the cache. These responses match policies with a NOCACHE action or are affected by Poll Every Time.
cachenonstoreablemissesrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachetotnonstoreablemisses
cachetotstoreablemisses <Double> Read-only Cache misses for which the fetched response is stored in the cache before serving it to the client. Storable misses conform to a built-in or user-defined caching policy that contains a CACHE action.
cachestoreablemissesrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachetotstoreablemisses
cachecompressedbytesserved <Double> Read-only Number of compressed bytes served from the cache
cachecompressedbytesservedrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachecompressedbytesserved
cachepercentbytehit <Double> Read-only Bytes served from the cache divided by total bytes served to the client. If compression is On in the Citrix ADC, this ratio may not reflect the bytes served by the compression module. If the compression is Off, this ratio is the same as cachePercentOriginBandwidthSaved.
cachebytesserved <Double> Read-only Total number of bytes served from the integrated cache
cachebytesservedrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachebytesserved
cachetotresponsebytes <Double> Read-only Total number of HTTP response bytes served by Citrix ADC from both the origin and the cache

cachetotnon304hits <Double> Read-only Total number of full (non-304) responses served from the cache. A 304 status code indicates that a response has not been modified since the last time it was served
cachenon304hitsrate <Double> Read-only Rate (/s) counter for cachetotnon304hits

Operations

(click to see Properties )

  • GET (ALL)

Some options that you can use for each operations:

  • Getting warnings in response: NITRO allows you to get warnings in an operation by specifying the 'warning' query parameter as 'yes'. For example, to get warnings while connecting to the NetScaler appliance, the URL is as follows:

    http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/config/login?warning=yes

    If any, the warnings are displayed in the response payload with the HTTP code '209 X-NITRO-WARNING'.

  • Authenticated access for individual NITRO operations: NITRO allows you to logon to the NetScaler appliance to perform individual operations. You can use this option instead of creating a NITRO session (using the login object) and then using that session to perform all operations,

    To do this, you must specify the username and password in the request header of the NITRO request as follows:

    X-NITRO-USER: <username>

    X-NITRO-PASS: <password>

    Note: In such cases, make sure that the request header DOES not include the following:

    Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN= <tokenvalue>

*Note: * Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in green

get (all)

URL: http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/stat/cache Query-parameters: args http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/stat/cache? args=detail: <Boolean_value> ,fullvalues: <Boolean_value> ,ntimes: <Double_value> ,logfile: <String_value> ,clearstats: <String_value>

Use this query-parameter to get cache resources based on additional properties.

attrs http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/stat/cache? attrs=property-name1,property-name2

Use this query parameter to specify the resource details that you want to retrieve.

HTTP Method: GET

Request Headers:

Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN= <tokenvalue>

Accept:application/json

Response: HTTP Status Code on Success: 200 OK

HTTP Status Code on Failure: 4xx <string> (for general HTTP errors) or 5xx <string> (for NetScaler-specific errors). The response payload provides details of the error

Response Header:
