Citrix NetScaler AppFlow Configuration

This document outlines the steps to configure Citrix NetScaler for AppFlow export with ObserveOps Flow Explorer.

Configuration Steps

Enable the AppFlow feature:

Netscaler# enable feature AppFlow

Configure AppFlow parameters:

Netscaler# set appflow param -httpUrl ENABLED -httpReferer ENABLED -httpMethod ENABLED -httpHost ENABLED -httpUserAgent ENABLED -clientTrafficOnly YES

Add the AppFlow collector pointing to the Motadata ObserveOps server:

Netscaler# add appflow collector "ObserveOps" -IPAddress {MOTADATA_NETFLOW_SERVER_IP} -port 2055

Create an AppFlow action referencing the collector:

Netscaler# add appflow action af_act_observeops -collectors "ObserveOps"

Create an AppFlow policy:

Netscaler# add appflow policy af_pol_log-all true af_act_observeops

Bind the policy globally:

Netscaler# bind system global -policyName af_pol_log-all -priority 100

After completing the configuration, navigate to Menu > Flow Explorer and select Explorer to view the active flow data.
