NPM Network Load Balancing - Please add Citrix Netscaler

Great to see the SolarWinds development team have added a "Load Balancing" section/feature to NPM V12.0, but the utter travesty to ONLY include F5 was very disappointing.

Would like to see Citrix Netscaler also available ! Please add it, make it available, thanks !

It's been more than 6 years. Seriously, we need to monitor all the data like F5. Please add this to roadmap asap.

Yeah, I just took a look at F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager & DNS Monitoring Tool | SolarWinds . There's no reason that the description on this page couldn't also exactly describe the info that is pulled regarding application delivery through Citrix ADCs (Netscalers).
"Monitor the health and performance of all components of application delivery, including wide IPs, virtual servers, pool members, and more with Network Insight for [Application Delivery Products] in NPM and NCM. Easily view the relationships from service to traffic managers, virtual servers, pools, and pool members, along with the detailed status of each component."
What I don't see listed are VPN usage (through Netscalers) and monitoring of CAG (Application Gateway) sessions.

That Q is hard to answer for someone who doesn't use F5s and hasn't looked at the Network Insights for F5...but maybe I'll go do that to see what might be comparable and useful.

Ive been hearing for years for this. Its needs the F5 treatment. Even better would be the ability to watch the Gateway also for users who use it for VPN.

The naming of the section "Load Balancers" may have been too aspirational in that we intended to do additional load balancers faster but instead went with firewalls for next Network Insights. Any thoughts on what visibility you need into Citrix Netscalers that is different than Network Insight for F5?

Does anyone know if there has been any movement on this from development?

Another vote for the NetScaler. We're moving away from F5s because of the cost and headaches involved with upgrading.

Yes, It has happened to me. Recently I happened upon a tech that had no real answers and I got nowhere.
It was horrible! This doesn't happen often, thank goodness.
