Objectives

This guide provides an overview, instructions for using, and examples of Junos automation and the self-diagnosis features of the Junos OS. Junos automation scripts, which include commit scripts, operation scripts, and event scripts, are based on Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) or Stylesheet Language Alternative Syntax (SLAX), the Junos Extensible Markup Language (XML) application programming interface (API), and the Junos XML Management Protocol. This guide also explains how to use commit script macros to provide simplified aliases for frequently used configuration statements and how to configure diagnostic event policies and actions associated with each policy.

Note: For additional information about Junos OS—either corrections to or information that might have been omitted from this guide—see the software release notes at http://www.juniper.net/.
