This chapter describes the Juniper Data Collector, an AIM service that periodically collects proactive intelligence information from Juniper Networks devices. The Juniper Data Collector supports earlier versions of JUNOS devices running the standard JUNOS operating system. It supports E-series devices running JUNOSe and certain Netscreen Firewall/VPN devices running ScreenOS. It does not support EX-series devices or devices running JUNOS software with enhanced services. AI-Scripts, on the other hand, does support these devices. For a complete list of Juniper Networks devices supported by the Juniper Data Collector, see the Advanced Insight Solutions Release Notes.
The Juniper Data Collector only collects intelligence JMBs. It does not collect device configuration information.
You add devices supported by the Juniper Data Collector to AIM using the Settings > General Settings and Organizations user interfaces. Then you add the devices directives groups. Data collected from devices is displayed in AIM Intelligence Manager for monitoring. For more information about creating a directives group and adding devices in AIM organizations, see Creating a Directives Group.
The Juniper Data Collector and associated directives file are installed when you install the AIM application. The directives file tells the Juniper Data Collector what information to collect and the frequency of data collection.
You must have AIM administrator privileges to create organizations with directives device groups.
