P/N 232-000861-00 Rev A
• Advanced Citrix Reporting with granular drill down capabilities including:
o URLs providing reporting insight into web servers and databases being accessed
o Applications providing reporting insight into applications being accelerated via NetScaler
o Latency providing reporting insight into the health and delay as seen by NetScaler
Note: Citrix NetScaler makes applications and cloud-based services run five times better by offloading
application and database servers, accelerating application and service performance, and integrating security.
All these features require the new Citrix Advanced Reporting Module.

o
Gadgets can be imported including the real-time view of application usage screen in SonicOS
o
Service Level Report list availability and latency trends on all devices polled
• Scrutinizer Cross Check provides integration with third party monitoring and flow analytic tools such as
WhatsUp Gold, Orion, SNMPc, Uptime Devices and Nimsoft. This new module’s capabilities include:
o Cross Check creates central inventory of all network devices managed by other analytic tools displaying
several attributes including device name, IP address, and status.
o Flowalyzer Poller continually assesses the status of devices identified by Cross Check and provides
updates to Scrutinizer via IPFIX messages.
o Cross Check references the status of devices as known by Scrutinizer with other third party management
products to monitor if flow data is arriving properly and whether devices are being polled correctly
o Fault index measurements indicate device status across numerous management systems using
configurable severity levels. Syslog notifications can be sent out if predefined threshold levels are met.
o Clickable inventory allows users with direct links to integrated third party applications providing easy access
to devices that are managed via these other applications.
o Inventory groupings can be created allowing for easy monitoring of network segments regardless of
whether the appliances are managed by Scrutinizer or a third party application.
o Cross Check was created directly in response to large MSP and enterprise customer demands for third
party integration.
All these features require the Cross Check Module.
