AI-Scripts are specialized Juniper Networks operational and event scripts that detect events and provide information for analysis, to periodically collect intelligence information, and to package all incident and intelligence event data into a structured format called a Juniper Message Bundle (JMB) and send it to a remote archive location so that it can be collected and displayed by Advanced Insight Manager (AIM). AI-Scripts are written in XSLT and are bundled, signed, and packaged like other JUNOS software bundles. AI-Script bundles are downloaded from the Juniper Networks software download Web site, and are installed on Juniper Networks routing platforms (devices) running JUNOS Release 9.0 or later.
AIM can be configured to send event data to Juniper Support Systems (JSS), the third component in the AIS system. JSS collects incident and intelligence information from AIM and sends intelligence information back to AIM specifically for your network.
AI-Scripts:
Each AI-Script corresponds to a specific device event. The list of device events that can be detected and reported will evolve over time. For the latest device events supported by AI-Scripts, see the AI-Scripts Release Notes located at http://www.juniper.net/support/.
For a complete list of the AI-Scripts added and the events detected, see the AI-Scripts Release Notes located at http://www.juniper.net/support/.
Juniper Networks release AI-Scripts twice a quarter.

For a complete list of the AI-Scripts added and the events detected, see the AI-Scripts Release Notes located at http://www.juniper.net/support/.
AI-Scripts event scripts are activated and stored in a table in the eventd process. The eventd process monitors all of the log messages generated by all system processes. When eventd detects an event script event trigger, it executes the associated event script.
Yes, but it also depends on the failure. If the failure is one of the problems that the AI-Scripts supports for that release, then it will be captured.
Yes. You can view eJMBs in AIM Incident Manager and iJMBs in AIM Intelligence Manager. For more information about AIM Incident and Intelligence Managers, see the AIS User Guide located at http://www.juniper.net/support/.
Yes. View the historical data can be viewed in AIM Incident Manager and Intelligence Manager. For more information about AIM Incident Manager and Intelligence Manager, see the AIS User Guide located at http://www.juniper.net/support/.
It depends on the event. If there are trigger-points, indicators such as log messages, it can but if traffic is lost silently, it cannot.
No, AI-Scripts cannot detect interface problems, and it cannot be triggered off such activities, but AI-Scripts can collect such values and make decisions based on such activities.
No. AI-Scripts are designed to capture serious problems that can severely impact the normal operation of network devices. AI-Scripts are available as a single package and cannot be selectively enabled or disabled.
New AI-Scripts are developed based on input from customers, partners, and the Juniper Networks Support and Engineering teams.
Yes. Starting in AIS 1.2, AIS can monitor devices that do not run AI-Script files. These devices are JUNOS versions between 8.0 and 9.0, JUNOSe devices, and ScreenOS devices. A new AIM module, which is called JDC (Juniper Data Collector), collects information from these devices. JDC uses specific instructions called "directives" to collect data from target devices and to form iJMBs that are sent into the host application AIM. This method ensures that JDC can support new data elements or platforms with addition of new directives.
