Properties¶

Name	Data Type	Permissions	Description
limitidentifier	<String>	Read-write	Name for a rate limit identifier. Must begin with an ASCII letter or underscore (_) character, and must consist only of ASCII alphanumeric or underscore characters. Reserved words must not be used.
threshold	<Double>	Read-write	Maximum number of requests that are allowed in the given timeslice when requests (mode is set as REQUEST_RATE) are tracked per timeslice. When connections (mode is set as CONNECTION) are tracked, it is the total number of connections that would be let through. Default value: 1 Minimum value = 1
timeslice	<Double>	Read-write	Time interval, in milliseconds, specified in multiples of 10, during which requests are tracked to check if they cross the threshold. This argument is needed only when the mode is set to REQUEST_RATE. Default value: 1000 Minimum value = 10
mode	<String>	Read-write	Defines the type of traffic to be tracked. * REQUEST_RATE - Tracks requests/timeslice. * CONNECTION - Tracks active transactions. Examples 1. To permit 20 requests in 10 ms and 2 traps in 10 ms: add limitidentifier limit_req -mode request_rate -limitType smooth -timeslice 1000 -Threshold 2000 -trapsInTimeSlice 200 2. To permit 50 requests in 10 ms: set limitidentifier limit_req -mode request_rate -timeslice 1000 -Threshold 5000 -limitType smooth 3. To permit 1 request in 40 ms: set limitidentifier limit_req -mode request_rate -timeslice 2000 -Threshold 50 -limitType smooth 4. To permit 1 request in 200 ms and 1 trap in 130 ms: set limitidentifier limit_req -mode request_rate -timeslice 1000 -Threshold 5 -limitType smooth -trapsInTimeSlice 8 5. To permit 5000 requests in 1000 ms and 200 traps in 1000 ms: set limitidentifier limit_req -mode request_rate -timeslice 1000 -Threshold 5000 -limitType BURSTY. Default value: REQUEST_RATE Possible values = CONNECTION, REQUEST_RATE, NONE
limittype	<String>	Read-write	Smooth or bursty request type. * SMOOTH - When you want the permitted number of requests in a given interval of time to be spread evenly across the timeslice * BURSTY - When you want the permitted number of requests to exhaust the quota anytime within the timeslice. This argument is needed only when the mode is set to REQUEST_RATE. Default value: BURSTY Possible values = BURSTY, SMOOTH
selectorname	<String>	Read-write	Name of the rate limit selector. If this argument is NULL, rate limiting will be applied on all traffic received by the virtual server or the Citrix ADC (depending on whether the limit identifier is bound to a virtual server or globally) without any filtering. Minimum length = 1
maxbandwidth	<Double>	Read-write	Maximum bandwidth permitted, in kbps. Minimum value = 0 Maximum value = 4294967287
trapsintimeslice	<Double>	Read-write	Number of traps to be sent in the timeslice configured. A value of 0 indicates that traps are disabled. Minimum value = 0 Maximum value = 65535
ngname	<String>	Read-only	Nodegroup name to which this identifier belongs to.
hits	<Double>	Read-only	The number of times this identifier was evaluated.
drop	<Double>	Read-only	The number of times action was taken.
rule	<String[]>	Read-only	Rule.
time	<Double>	Read-only	Time interval considered for rate limiting.
total	<Double>	Read-only	Maximum number of requests permitted in the computed timeslice.
trapscomputedintimeslice	<Double>	Read-only	The number of traps that would be sent in the timeslice configured. .
computedtraptimeslice	<Double>	Read-only	The time interval computed for sending traps.
referencecount	<Double>	Read-only	Total number of transactions pointing to this entry.
__count	<Double>	Read-only	count parameter

Some options that you can use for each operations:

Getting warnings in response: NITRO allows you to get warnings in an operation by specifying the 'warning' query parameter as 'yes'. For example, to get warnings while connecting to the NetScaler appliance, the URL is as follows:
http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/config/login?warning=yes
If any, the warnings are displayed in the response payload with the HTTP code '209 X-NITRO-WARNING'.
Authenticated access for individual NITRO operations: NITRO allows you to logon to the NetScaler appliance to perform individual operations. You can use this option instead of creating a NITRO session (using the login object) and then using that session to perform all operations,
To do this, you must specify the username and password in the request header of the NITRO request as follows:
X-NITRO-USER: <username>
X-NITRO-PASS: <password>
Note: In such cases, make sure that the request header DOES not include the following:
Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN= <tokenvalue>

Note:

Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in green
