Generate reports for load balancing entities

Last published : Sep 26, 2026
NetScaler Console allows you to view the reports of Citrix Application Delivery Controller (NetScaler) instance entities at all levels. There are two types of reports that you can download in NetScaler Console > Network Functions - consolidated reports and individual reports.
Consolidated reports: You can download and view a consolidated or a summarized report for all entities that are managed on NetScaler instances.
This report allows you to have a high-level view of the mapping between the NetScaler instances, partitions, and the corresponding load balancing entities (virtual servers, service groups, and services) that are present in the network.
The following image shows an example of a summarized report.
Generate report
The consolidated report is in a CSV format. The entries in each column are described as follows:
  • NetScaler IP Address: IP address of the NetScaler instance is displayed in the report
  • NetScaler HostName: Host name is displayed in the report.
  • Partition: IP address of the administrative partition is displayed
  • Virtual Server: \<name\_of\_the\_virtual\_server\>#virtual\_IP\_address­:port\_number
  • Services: \<name\_of\_the\_service\>#service-IP\_address:port\_number
  • Service Groups: \<name\_of\_service\_group\>#server\_member1\_IP\_address:port,server\_member2\_IP\_address:port,server\_member3\_IP\_address:port,………..,server\_membern\_IP\_address:port
Note
  • If there is no host name available, the corresponding IP address is displayed.
  • Blank columns indicate that the respective entities are not configured for that NetScaler instance.
Individual reports: You can also download and view independent reports of all instances and entities. For example, you can download a report for only load balancing virtual servers or load balancing services or load balancing service groups.
NetScaler Console allows you to download the report instantly. You can also schedule the report to be generated at a fixed time once a day, once a week, or once a month.
