Juniper Data Collector

The Juniper Data Collector (JDC) gathers intelligence information from Juniper Networks devices that are not capable of running AI-Scripts, such as M-series, T-series, and J-series devices running versions of JUNOS prior to release 9.0, E-series devices running JUNOSe, and certain NetScreen Firewall/VPN devices running ScreenOS.

Note: The JDC supports earlier versions of JUNOS devices running the standard JUNOS operating system. It does not support devices running the JUNOS-EX or JUNOS-ES operating system variants. However, the AI-Scripts support all three variants of the operating system.

See Juniper Data Collector E-series (JUNOSe) Device Support for specific JUNOSe and Juniper Data Collector NetScreen (ScreenOS) Device Support for a list of specific NetScreen devices supported by the Juniper Data Collector.

The Juniper Data Collector processes the collected intelligence information and displays it in Advanced Insight Manager (AIM) Intelligence Manager for customer analysis. The AIM Intelligence Manager sends intelligence information (according to the Information JMB Configuration Filter Level option selected in AIM General Settings) to Juniper Support Systems (JSS). JSS processes the intelligence information and sends AIM Intelligence Manager proactive intelligence messages and alerts to maximize device operation on the network.

Note: The filter setting is set globally at the application level and applies to all device types. However JMB’s for JUNOSe and ScreenOS devices contain no configuration data and are therefore not affected by this setting.
