[j-nsp] open source packages to monitor ex2200/vc

[Chuck Anderson]

(trying again with gzipped code to make message small enough)

For Juniper hardware/software fault monitoring, we use Nagios with the
check_snmp_environment plugin, extended with more Juniper checks.
I've attached the one we use here.  I'd like to improve this further
by removing duplicate alerts (often the Component State and FRU states
are identical, so we get alert messages with the same alerts printed
twice, but I didn't know that when I wrote it originally and wanted to
not miss anything).

For interface statistics and historical graphing/trending, we use
AKiPS.  AKiPS can also do threshold and fault alerting if you'd rather
have a single solution that does everything.  The nice thing about
AKiPS is that it has pretty comprehensive support for many vendors of
not just networking gear, but also servers, power systems, wireless,
etc.  It also has a syslog and NetFlow collector.  They also add new
functionality pretty rapidly.
