Which tool can verify that a policy is bound and show the number of hits?

• A. nscollect
• B. nstrace.sh
• C. nsconmsg
• D. nstcpdump.sh

Answer: (C)

Verifying a policy binding and how often it fires relies on examining policy evaluation events generated by the NetScaler. nsconmsg reads those runtime console/log messages and can display policy-related events, including the number of times a specific policy bound to a vServer has been hit. Because it taps directly into the policy execution logs, it’s the most straightforward way to confirm that a policy is bound and to see the hit counts across traffic. Other tools don’t serve this purpose as directly. nscollect collects diagnostic data for support and broader troubleshooting rather than giving real-time or per-policy hit metrics. nstrace.sh is great for debugging a single request’s policy decisions but doesn’t provide a clean overall hit count across all traffic. nstcpdump.sh captures packets and shows traffic, not policy binding or evaluation counts.
