Data Sources

A data source is a database from which you can view inventory report information. The Inventory Management System provides two report data sources:

Inventory—A database from which you can view items that are created when an Inventory Management System scan is performed on Juniper Networks devices on the network. An inventory scan must be performed before you can view any report data.
Demo—A demonstration database that includes sample inventory items that you can use to practice viewing and manipulating inventory reports. When you open a demo report, you see the word Demo in the title bar area to differentiate from your production inventory reports.

Report Categories

The Inventory Management System provides the following report categories:

Inventory Events—Lists any changes or discrepancies found in an inventory scan as compared with the inventory data stored in the JUNOScope database.
Hardware Inventory—Lists the hardware components installed in a device or a router chassis, including the part number, serial number, FRU model number, and CLEI code.
Licensing Inventory—Lists the feature licenses that have been installed on devices in the network, including the name of the licensed feature, number of licenses installed, number of licenses that are currently being used, and the number of licenses that are required to legally use the feature.
Software Inventory—Lists the software components installed in a device, including the JUNOS software version and software packages.

Report Types

Each report category provides three types of inventory reports (except for Inventory Events, which provides two: All and Search).
