Exposure Analyzer Overview
Junos Space Service Insight lists devices and the number of End of Life (EOL) parts and Proactive Bug Notifications (PBNs) that are applicable for the devices based on EOL reports and PBNs received from Juniper Support Systems (JSS) (see Figure 1). The Quick View area of Exposure Analyzer page displays the devices (showing details such as number of EOL parts and number of matching PBNs) with specific icons. Table 1 describes these icons. Table 2 describes the fields on the Exposure Analyzer page and the Device Details page.
On the Exposure Analyzer page, you can generate EOL reports and PBN reports for a particular device and export the reports in Excel format. An EOL report includes the following information: devices with End of Life announce parts, serial number of the device, model number of the device, top level assembly part for the device, End of Sale date, and End of Service date, Last Hardware Engineering Support date, Last Software Engineering Support date for the devices that you select.

A PBN report includes the following items: Device Name, Device Serial Number, Product, Junos Version, Device Group, Connected Member, Organization, PBN Title, Juniper ID, PBN Description, PBN Customer Impact, PBN Work Around, and PBN URL.
Service Insight uses two timers, one that runs every midnight, and another that runs every hour. The hourly timer initiates Service Insight to process pending EOL requests. This timer schedules when Service Insight requests for EOL and PBN information from JSS. When the number of managed devices is larget, JSS sends EOL and PBN information in batches.
The timer that runs every midnight updates the EOL and PBN data by sending requests to JSS and processing the responses that are received from JSS. This timer also initiates the synchronization process between Service Now and Service Insight which enables Service Insight to display the changes that were made to devices in Service Now. When you execute device-related changes in Service Now while either one of these timers is running, Service Insight takes an hour to display the changes on the Exposure Analyzer page.
