Name Data Type Permissions Description
src Read-write Local path to and name of, or URL (protocol, host, path, and file name) for, the file in which to store the imported extension.

NOTE: The import fails if the object to be imported is on an HTTPS server that requires client certificate authentication for access.

Minimum length = 1

Maximum length = 2047
name Read-write Name to assign to the extension object on the Citrix ADC.

Minimum length = 1

Maximum length = 31
comment Read-write Any comments to preserve information about the extension object.

Maximum length = 128
overwrite Read-write Overwrites the existing file.
trace Read-write Enables tracing to the NS log file of extension execution off - turns off tracing (equivalent to unset ns extension -trace) calls - traces extension function calls with arguments and function returns with the first return value lines - traces the above plus line numbers for executed extension lines all - traces the above plus local variables changed by executed extension lines Note that the DEBUG log level must be enabled to see extension tracing. This can be done by set audit syslogParams -loglevel ALL or -loglevel DEBUG. Default value: off Possible values = off, calls, lines, all
tracefunctions Read-write Comma-separated list of extension functions to trace. By default, all extension functions are traced.

Maximum length = 256
tracevariables Read-write Comma-separated list of variables (in traced extension functions) to trace. By default, all variables are traced.

Maximum length = 256
detail Read-write Show detail for extension function.

Possible values = brief, all
type Read-only .

Possible values = WSDL, CustomSettings, XMLSchema, XMLErrorPage, htmlpage, CustomResp, Extension, JSONErrorPage, ProtoFile, Signatures
functionhits Read-only Number of time function evaluates successfully.
functionundefhits Read-only Number of times error occured in evaluating extension function.
functionhaltcount Read-only Number of time function evaluation is halted.
__count 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
