Configuring the AppFlow feature 编辑

You configure AppFlow in the same manner as most other policy-based features. First, you enable the AppFlow feature. Then you specify the collectors to which the flow records are sent. After that, you define actions, which are sets of configured collectors. Then you configure one or more policies and associate an action to each policy. The policy tells the Citrix ADC appliance to select requests the flow records of which are sent to the associated action. Finally, you bind each policy either globally or to the specific virtual server to put it into effect.

You can further set AppFlow parameters to specify the template refresh interval and to enable the exporting of httpURL, httpCookie, and httpReferer information. On each collector, you must specify the Citrix ADC IP address as the address of the exporter.

Note

For information about configuring the Citrix ADC as an exporter on the collector, see the documentation for the specific collector.

The configuration utility provides tools that help users define the policies and actions. It determines exactly how the Citrix ADC appliance export records for a particular flow to a set of collectors(action.) The command line interface provides a corresponding set of CLI-based commands for experienced users who prefer a command line.
