Chapter 11. Management Tools

Through the use of ops and event scripts, it is possible to create highly customized management and troubleshooting information to be used to ensure continuous systems, but if this information is not understood or cannot be processed correctly, it is useless. Though most network management systems can be tweaked to handle the information the scripts and the JUNOS software provide, Juniper Networks has worked to provide tools that seamlessly integrate with the power of the JUNOS application programming interfaces (APIs) to provide information in a more easily understood format.

Based on proven open source projects, the Juniper Networks management tools include a GUI for monitoring equipment, software, and networking; tools for interacting with the Juniper Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) for management of tickets and equipment; and partner programs allowing best-in-breed service providers to integrate their protocols and systems into JUNOS.
