Looking Glass Overview
Looking Glass provides GUI‑based execution of CLI commands across multiple devices for configuration comparison and connectivity troubleshooting in Juniper Security Director Cloud.
Use Looking Glass to verify configurations, analyse device runtime, and troubleshoot device connectivity using CLI commands on network devices from a single interface. The Looking Glass page lists CLI commands that are supported and stored in the Juniper Security Director Cloud database.
As you enter a command, the interface automatically displays supported and saved command suggestions that match your input. Command output is shown in near real time within the GUI, giving you immediate insight into device state and network behaviour without needing to SSH into individual devices or use external tools.
Benefits
-
Run commands easily—You can execute CLI commands directly from the GUI without logging into each device.
-
Compare and troubleshoot across multiple devices—Run commands on up to 10 devices simultaneously and compare configuration and runtime information across devices.
-
Secure Access—Administrators can assign roles with read, create, and update permissions.
-
Control the timeout—Set a configurable RPC timeout to stop slow or long‑running queries.
