Integrating Citrix Netscaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC)

Integrating Citrix Netscaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC)

Official instructions for NetScaler ADC syslog forward can be found here. You'll need to enter the IP address of the Barracuda XDR sensor during this integration.

To set up the Citrix ADC , do the following steps, below:

  1. Enable Citrix ADC.

  2. Install the XDR Collector.

  3. Firewall Configuration.

  4. Open port on the XDR Collector Host.

The install command is unique to the current selected account and should only be run on systems within that environment.

Enable Citrix ADC

  1. In Barracuda XDR Dashboard, navigate to Integrations Integrations.png.

  2. On the Citrix ADC card, click Setup.

  3. Select the Enable check box.

  4. If the default UDP port can't be forwarded because it is already in use, type a different UDP port number.

  5. Click Save.

Install the XDR Collector

When collecting logs from one or more integrated data sources, always set up the XDR Collector on a dedicated host server. Don't use an existing server because the amount of data produced by logs can impact critical infrastructure.

Firewall Configuration

  • To add a Syslog server to the Citrix ADC Firewall follow the steps in the Citrix ADC Firewall Documentation

  • When entering the necessary information for each syslog server that is added, make sure that the port is pointing to 9205, not to the default port that is mentioned in the documentation.

Open port on the XDR Collector Host

If you have a firewall protecting your collector, ensure that it allows incoming traffic on the UDP port.

Here are some examples of how to do that on commonly used firewalls.

Linux Iptables
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 9205 -j ACCEPT
Linux firewalld
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=9205/udp
Windows

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Citrix Events" dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP localport=9205
