[j-nsp] Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI)

Tue Oct 9 18:02:05 EDT 2018

I’ve been working on getting telemetry analytics data into a Ubuntu server running grafana and other things like influxdb, telegraf, etc, etc… working with a linux engineer coworker.  We have seen the MX960 sensor telem data getting sent to the Ubuntu/grafana server using tcpdump and nc (netcat), but unable to get it ingested into the correct data collector mechanism… trying to learn… I understand that the MX960 sends telem data as transport udp or grpc and formatted as gpb or gbp self described, but, again, unable to get it ingested into my Ubuntu/grafana telem collector station.

…we also had put open-nti on the ubuntu server too… we are unsuccessful in getting the open-nti docker image to start.  

I read somewhere that if there are ports in use that are also needed for the open-nti docker container (8086, 50000, etc) then docker will fail to start image.  Unsure if this is my issue but wouldn’t be surprised if it is, as I believe we’ve loaded items in their native form (grafana , influxdb, etc) and then also open-nti which I understand is a nicely contained package of all those said items…. Which is why we are going to start with a clean slate tomorrow , a new Ubuntu image and only go with open-nti.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll try to circle back and share any successes along the way.

Aaron,

Yes, OpenNTI includes Grafana.https://techmocha.blog/2017/06/26/using-opennti-as-a-collector-for-streaming-telemetry-from-juniper-devices-part-1/

Doesn't Grafana require alot of work to get all the sensors setup though? AKA its not as simple as an SMNP walk with established NMS software providers?

Anyone for Juniper than can comment on the ACX series supporting JTI? An ACX5048  is hardware wise identical to the QFX5100, and the QFX5100 support's JTI. So it has to be just software right?

I think Grafana is also capable of receiving this Telemetry info 

Maybe someone else can share how to make that work

I’m also wanting to use JTI in ACX, And wondering if that capability is coming soon

Dave,

Yep, it looks like  the video is mentioning SevOne that's them thanks

Sounds like SevOne to me (https://www.sevone.com/)

Are there any third party network monitoring systems capable of

interacting

with Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI)? Many of the third party systems are

SNMP and ICMP based, but we are looking for more real-time metrics. We

could set the SNMP polling to intervals of less than a minute, but I

assume

that doesn't work very well and why JTI was released?

I am aware of OpenNTI, but that doesn't seems to be a commercially

supported platform and it is missing the elements of a true NMS from what

I

can tell.

This YouTube video mentions Juniper working with partners, they even

mention one, but I can't make out the name at time 11:48. Can anyone

translate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeprCbmuqLA

Does anyone know why the entire ACX line does not have Junos Telemetry

Interface (JTI)? Is this a coming feature to the ACX platform?

Besides SNMP, ICMP, and JTI, are there any other protocols that can be

used

for networking monitoring and management in Juniper that I am unaware of?
