Name Data Type Permissions Description
name <String> Read-write Name of the dataset. Must not exceed 127 characters.
Minimum length = 1
type <String> Read-write Type of value to bind to the dataset.
Possible values = ipv4, number, ipv6, ulong, double, mac
comment <String> Read-write Any comments to preserve information about this dataset or a data bound to this dataset.
patsetfile <String> Read-write File which contains list of patterns that needs to be bound to the dataset. A patsetfile cannot be associated with multiple datasets.
dynamic <String> Read-write This is used to populate internal dataset information so that the dataset can also be used dynamically in an expression. Here dynamically means the dataset name can also be derived using an expression. For example for a given dataset name "allow_test" it can be used dynamically as client.ip.src.equals_any("allow_" + http.req.url.path.get(1)). This cannot be used with default datasets.
Default value: NO
Possible values = YES, NO
dynamiconly <Boolean> Read-write Shows only dynamic datasets when set true.
Default value: 0
builtin <String[]> Read-only Indicates that a variable is a built-in (SYSTEM INTERNAL) type.
Possible values = MODIFIABLE, DELETABLE, IMMUTABLE, PARTITION_ALL
feature <String> Read-only The feature to be checked while applying this config.
_nextgenapiresource <String> Read-only .
__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
