Enable or disable features

Last published : Sep 25, 2026
As an administrator, you can enable or disable the following features in the Settings > Global Settings > Configurable Features page:
  • Agent failover - The agent failover can occur on a site that has two or more active agents. When an agent becomes inactive (DOWN state) in the site, the {{page.adm-product-name-short}} redistributes the {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instances of the inactive agent with other active agents. For more information, see Configure {{page.adm-ads-agent-short}} agents for multisite deployment.
  • Entity polling network function - An entity is either a policy, virtual server, service, or action attached to a {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instance. By default, {{page.adm-product-name-short}} automatically polls configured network function entities every 60 minutes. For more information, see Polling overview.
  • Instance backup - Back up the current state of a {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instance and later use the backed-up files to restore the {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instance to the same state. For more information, see Back up and restore {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instances.
  • Instance configuration audit - Monitor configuration changes across managed {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instances, troubleshoot configuration errors, and recover unsaved configurations. For more information, see Create audit templates.
  • Instance events - Events represent occurrences of events or errors on a managed {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instance. Events received in {{page.adm-product-name-short}} are displayed on the Events Summary page (Infrastructure > Events). And all active events are displayed in the Event Messages page (Infrastructure > Events > Event Messages). For more information, see Events.
  • Instance network reporting - You can generate reports for instances at a global level. Also, for entities such as the virtual servers and network interfaces. For more information, see Network Reporting.
  • Instance SSL certificates - {{page.adm-product-name-short}} provides a centralized view of SSL certificates installed across all managed {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instances. For more information, see SSL Dashboard.
  • Instance Syslog - You can monitor the syslog events generated on your {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instances if you have configured your device to redirect all syslog messages to {{page.adm-product-name-short}}. For more information, see Configuring syslog on instances.
