New Relic Juniper Plugin

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)

Requirements

Proxy host

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.

Juniper Equipment

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