NetScaler-Flows
NetScaler-Flows
Read a NetScaler configuration as a map.
NetScaler-Flows opens an ns.conf and draws who talks to whom: content switching, load balancing, service groups, services and servers, with the policies, certificates and authentication attached. It is a desktop app for macOS and Windows: the configuration is read on your computer and never leaves it.
- macOS · Windows
- ns.conf → interactive map
- F5 BIG-IP → NetScaler
From text to map
Hundreds of lines of ns.conf become a graph to move, zoom and click.
Everything in one view
LB, CS, VPN, AAA and GSLB virtual servers with their bindings, policies, certificates and monitors.
Ready for documentation
PDF and Word reports of the configuration, for handovers and audits.
Offline by design
Nothing is uploaded: the analysis runs inside the app.
Try NetScaler-Flows right here
Open the ns.conf exported from the appliance and choose a vServer. Below, a sample configuration: click a node to isolate its chain together with the ns.conf lines that build it, open the documentation or convert a sample F5 bigip.conf.
The interface is the product's own, in its original language; the data are sample data and the simulation is not connected to any system.
The problem
An ns.conf is long, and it does not draw itself
A NetScaler in production easily holds hundreds of objects: virtual servers, service groups, policies bound at different priorities, certificates, authentication profiles. To understand where a request ends up, you follow names from one line to another across the whole file.
The same happens before a migration or a handover: the configuration exists, but nobody has a picture of it.
The answer
The configuration, drawn
NetScaler-Flows reads the file and draws its objects as nodes, one colour per type, joined by their bindings. A click on a node shows its details in the side panel; the network summary shows NSIP, SNIP, VLANs, HA nodes and routes.
Coming from F5? The app converts a BIG-IP configuration into NetScaler commands, validates the result line by line, fixes the most common problems and opens it in the map.
What NetScaler-Flows does
Details on click
Every node opens its properties and the objects bound to it in the side panel, and the network summary gathers NSIP, SNIP, VLANs, HA and routes.
Policies, SSL and authentication
Responder, rewrite, cache, AppFW and content switching policies; certificates, SSL profiles and cipher groups; LDAP, RADIUS, SAML and OAuth actions.
Reports to hand over
Export the configuration as a PDF or Word report with summary statistics, or print it.
From F5 BIG-IP to NetScaler
Converts a bigip.conf into NetScaler CLI commands, with load-balancing methods, persistence and monitors mapped to their NetScaler equivalents and a confidence level for every object.
Validation and automatic fixes
The converted configuration is checked line by line, with blocking errors, warnings and suggestions, and the common problems are fixed before you apply it.
One run, step by step
-
1
Export the configuration
Take the ns.conf from the appliance, or the bigip.conf from the F5 you are migrating.
-
2
Open it in the app
The file is read on your computer by the app's Rust engine: nothing goes on the network.
-
3
Explore the map
Follow the flows, open the nodes, check policies and certificates.
-
4
Share the result
A PDF or Word report for the team, or the converted configuration ready to be reviewed and applied.
What it takes
- Platforms
- Desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows x64
- Input
- NetScaler ns.conf; F5 BIG-IP bigip.conf for the conversion
- Network
- None: the app works offline
- Outputs
- PDF and Word reports, printing, converted NetScaler configuration
What people ask us
Does the configuration leave my computer?
No. NetScaler-Flows is a desktop app: the file is read and analysed on your computer, with no upload and no cloud service.
Does it change the NetScaler?
No. It reads a configuration file and never connects to the appliance.
How complete is the F5 conversion?
It covers the common objects, gives every converted object a confidence level and lists what needs a manual review. The result is validated, and should be reviewed before applying it on the NetScaler.
Is it an official NetScaler or F5 product?
No. It is a product of Corellix Software Engineering. NetScaler is a trademark of Cloud Software Group, Inc.; F5 and BIG-IP are trademarks of F5, Inc.
