 This is a simple server that scrapes [Citrix ADC](https://www.citrix.com/products/citrix-adc/) stats and exports them via HTTP to [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus). Prometheus can then be added as a data source to Grafana to view the Citrix ADC stats graphically.

+>**Note:**
+>
+>Now you can directly export the metrics from NetScaler to Prometheus without deploying Citrix ADC metrics exporter. It is recommended to use the direct export instead of using Citrix ADC metrics exporter or observability exporter to export metrics. For more information, see [Monitor NetScaler, applications, and application security using Prometheus](https://docs.netscaler.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/observability/prometheus-integration.html).

 To monitor stats and counters of Citrix ADC instances, citrix-adc-metric-exporter can be run as a container or script. It collects Citrix ADC stats such as total hits to a vserver, http request rate, ssl encryption-decryption rate, etc from the Citrix ADC instances and holds them until the Prometheus server pulls the stats and stores them with a timestamp. Grafana can then be pointed to the Prometheus server to fetch the stats, plot them, set alarms, create heat maps, generate tables, etc as needed to analyse the Citrix ADC stats.
