    2. Counter Schema File:
      • If you want to proceed with the default schema, you can skip this step.
      • If you want to proceed with the custom schema, upload the schema file that you have modified with the parameters. In NetScaler, a reference file reference_schema.json with all supported counters is available under the path /var/metrics_conf/. You can use an FTP client to copy the file in your local.

  4. In Tag Assosiation, associate all present and future StyleBook tags with the configuration.
    This option associates all the StyleBook tags to a configuration pack. It also makes sure to associate the new tags that you might add to the StyleBooks in future.
