NTA for Netscaler Appflow

Seem like in the past Solarwinds didn't support Appflow...

Does anyone have an Appflow setup for Citrix NetScaler that works?

However I have just come across a configuration guide that now allows it. Figured someone might find it useful.

How To Configure NetScaler AppFlow for SolarWinds

grantallenby​,  That guide is for using the free netflow traffic analyzer but the actual NTA orion won't parse them.  Last time I ran into this was about a year ago but, if I recall correctly, it looked like the issue was that NPM/NTA always tries to map the source interface field back to a network interface from Orion, but NS Appflows use that field differently.  Super frustrating since we knew the free tool would do the job but we wanted that info in Orion.  I figured out a way we could rig something up to make it work for them by sending the flow to another application (splunk in that case) and then having that application forward the flows with a modified source interface value, but I don't have all the details of how we accomplished that.  Hopefully that gives you enough of a lead to figure it out though.
