The Juniper Plugin enables integrated monitoring of your Juniper Network devices inside of New Relic. Currently the following metrics are recorded:

Per Routing Engine metrics

• CPU / Memory usage

• Temperature

Interface metrics

• Inbound / Outbound bandwitdh

• Inbound / Outbound packets per second (Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast)

You need a host to install the plugin on that is able to poll the desired equipment via SNMP. That host also needs Ruby (tested with 1.8.7 and 1.9.3), and support for rubygems.

A read-only SNMP community is required for each device to be monitored. Currently, only SNMP version 2c is supported.
